All We Do Is Win!: Big Mac Team Tennis setting standard for excellence, making history
When the MacArthur tennis coaching position came open in 2014, it was one that Brandon Blake jumped at. In the 2020 UIL Team Tennis playoffs, MacArthur made history defeating Oak Ridge, 10-9, in the bi-district round, securing the school's first-ever playoff victory in the 55-year history of the school. Itโs also the first time a team from Aldine ISD advances to the 2nd round of the UIL Team Tennis playoffs in the 21st century! In team tennis, Blake said he saw how much of an impact jumping out to a lead with doubles could do. That emphasis has paid off, notching team tennis wins over programs like Kingwood Park and Atascocita over the past few years.
