Congratulations to Mo Valley Chiefs for winning the team spirit / sportsmanship award for the 2014 USTA Boys' and Girls' Zone Team! The Mo Valley Chiefs team showed great spirit, win or not, and a team bond and enthusiasm for their team without disrespect of opponents. They displayed outstanding sportsmanship off the court, with friendly behavior toward other teams, tournament staff, Arlington Tennis Center staff and officials. Coach Peter McCorkle was a true leader on and off the court, and the parents were ... parents, who did not interfere with matches, and were helpful with off court activities. And another outstanding note: 2014 marks the second year Coach McCorkle’s team won the Spirit / Sportsmanship award! The Mo Valley Rams won the award when Coach McCorkle led that team in 2012.
