All the Seniors at the Academy were honored, as many seniors had participated in the Fall 2021 Signing Day.  Yet, on this day, special attention was directed towards three young men who more recently committed to colleges: Graydon Buckingham, Aathreya Mahesh and Charlie Piegza. These three student athletes will be graduating this May and have signed to play tennis for the following:

 

 

Graydon Buckingham

U.S. Naval Academy

 

Aathreya Mahesh

James Madison University

 

Charlie Piegza

Samford University

 

Smith Stearns Tennis Academy is so proud of each of these players and all they’ve achieved! B.J. Stearns and Stan Smith, co-owners and leaders of the Academy were present for the ceremony, along with each of the players’ coaches, families and fellow athletes.

Both Stan and B.J. commented that college was a significant time for each of them, along with having made many great memories. In addition, they stated how important it is for these seniors to continue to work hard on their tennis, both over the summer, and once on campus at college.

“You never know what might lay ahead for your future,” said B.J. Stearns. “You never know how far you can go,” he said.
