thanks for the ideas everyone. the idea of combining schools would be a
possibility, but i think seed and st. john's are too far away to make that
work. also, when i mentioned that i had 8 students ready to play, i was
unaware that two of them were already playing on the tennis team and were
planning on quitting tennis if we got a league team together. as i told
those students, I don't think you quit a sport you've committed to even if
another comes along that you prefer. so, in essence, i think i have 6 that
can play. if another school does come along that is close by and has low
numbers, though, let me know. thanks,

mike
