Coach Lauffer made several comments in regard to McPherson. The coach stressed how important it was to win the point at the first position in a dual match and he feels Bob is doing an outstanding job for a fresh man. Another point is that he is always willing to learn how to play better and he always has a good attitude, which is im portant. But perhaps the most impressive thing about McPherson is his ability to win in pressure situations. So far this year every opponent has given him good competition or has almost beaten him. Bob also made a few comments in reference to this honor. He feels the team has given him the support he needs to do the job at the first position. He also elaborated on the fact that the main reason he has been as successful as he had is because of the ability of Coach Lauffer. Bob feels Mr. Lauffer has been the best coach in his career and has given him many pointers about the game. The Regional tour nament will be a real test to McPherson’s ability and he is hoping to represent Behrend as a successful participant.
