Former ASC Standout Wade Morgan Named New Head Coach of Schreiner Tennis

KERRVILLE, TX  -- Wade Morgan, who was a part of three ASC championship teams and was a four time All-ASC performer while at Hardin-Simmons University, was named the new head coach for Schreiner University's women's and men's tennis teams today.  Morgan also served for one year as an assistant coach for HSU Tennis under current head coach Shane Williford.
