Rodney Harmon on Black History Month; Hall of Famer Andy Andrews

Georgia Tech Women’s Tennis Head Coach Rodney Harmon has a impressive career that topped out at No. 56 in the world. Harmon grew up in Richmond, Va., where he was mentored by the great Arthur Ashe. He reflected on being a Black youngster driving down Monument Avenue where the Confederate leaders cast a negative shadow on his upbringing. Andy Andrews was inducted into the Southern Tennis Hall of Fame based on an ATP career where he rose to No. 78. He also has a devotion to volunteered for the USTA and was elected USTA First Vice President and held numerous posts in USTA Southern. In our highlights this week are junior Hayden Mulberry, of Marietta, Ga., and USTA Southern award winners Florence (S.C.) Tennis Association and Shreveport (La.) Association of Ladies Tennis.
