As we look back on 2008, I think we can all say it has been a good and fairly calm year. 2009 promises to be a really good one--but probably one with a few changes that may or may not be good.
Here are some of the highlights of 2008:
* Baylor men and women won the Big 12--again.
* The University of Texas men advanced to the NCAA finals and upheld the honor of the Big 12.
* The 2008 Chair Academy in Plano proved to be the best ever. Twenty participants finished the school and are all out officiating these days.
* Baylor University sponsored another collegiate training clinic under the direction of Chuck Scott. Overall, the clinic proved invaluable to those who attended.
* The Texas Section Officials Committee established yet another Grievance Committee (in spite of the fact that the current Grievance Committee was already in place).
* There were 19 officials schools conducted in Texas in 2008. Texas ranks #1 in the nation in the number of schools offered for officials.
* Bonnie Vona left the Texas Section office for greener pastures elsewhere.
* The USTA national office as well as much of our leadership in Texas sent word that they are reading our blog. I'm not too sure of their motives but I do want to welcome them to our blogging family. 2009 should be a year that they all enjoy!

Yes, and the first thing the USTA National Office noticed, was the lack of diversity among the blog posters. That's a NO!! NO!! I'm gonna go tell.
