In other business, members approved the naming of the Texas High School Tennis Complex to the John Watson Tennis Complex in honor of the recently retired coach. Watson began his 31 year career with the Tiger Family in 1983. Under his supervision, the tennis program has had continuous success earning 464 team wins and 56 fall and spring district titles, 48 of those titles consecutively. Around 25 to 30 of his players were named state qualifiers, with six of them capturing state champion titles. I am shocked with this recognition and feel that it is a tremendous honor for the TISD Board of Trustees to even consider naming the tennis facilities after me. They have really blown me away, shared Watson. I am looking forward to seeing my name on the building and enjoying a naming event with family, friends, co-workers and past players later in the year.
