York tennis player honored by Hall::Monterey County Herald

Monterey County Herald | 09/15/2005 | York tennis player honored by Hall~~~
It's the dog days of tennis right now, and very little to link to, but I thought this story was pretty cool. Taylor Matsumoto may be playing Division I college tennis once UC Davis completes its transition from Division II, but he's not an elite junior tennis player. However, going to the Hall of Fame and having Jim Courier, Yannick Noah and Bud Collins congratulate you for winning the Talbert award would be an honor hard to top. Heck, winning the Talbert award would rate high on anyone's list of tributes. And though I've never seen Matsumoto play, the other male recipient, Ashwin Kumar, now at Harvard, was very much admired for his game and conduct in Kalamazoo. He was the Wes Richards sportsmanship award recipient in 2004.
