Somehow, some way, everything came together for head coach Bill Shine’s final home match with the Menlo girls’ tennis team.
Shine’s final match as the Menlo girls’ coach at Wunderlich Tennis Courts — a local “Field of Dreams” of high school tennis, that Menlo’s tennis guru for some three decades was instrumental in crafting — saw the Lady Knights capture the CIF Northern California regional girls’ tennis championship with a 5-2 victory over Monta Vista-Cupertino.
