In their posts, you catch the heart and soul of the team and read how their sport is helping them grow in their walk with Jesus. That comes through in this recent post by Kendall Heydt ’18 from the Lady Jackets tennis team. Read Heydt’s and other athletes’ blogs at cedarville.edu/sportsblogs . I want to dedicate this blog to Coach Dee Morris. Why? Because her legacy of 41 God- centered years of coaching came to an end after the spring season finished. She will continue her other duties and responsibilities as a professor, advisor, and physician assistant, but her coaching c a r ee r ha s come t o a c l o s e . Coa ch announced this to us during spring break in Florida. Tears were shed, but for me, a senior, I was overwhelmed with thankfulness that I had Coach Morris as my coach all four years of my college experience. I experienced her care, grace, generosity, sense of humor, love for Jesus, and her boldness to pray with the opposing team before every match, whether the opposing team was a team of believers or not. I feel so blessed that I ended my tennis career with her. Thank you, Coach, for all you have done for our team this year, and the many teams that came before us. I can assure you, this is not the last time you will hear something like this from one of your athletes. I love you, Coach! It’s rare to find a coach as dedicated to Jesus before everything else in her life, even with the massive drive she has for academics and medicine. No matter how strong of a drive she has for those two areas of her life, Jesus trumps them each and every time, and for that, I love and admire her so much.
