Coach Josh Cobble
Having played tennis at Cowley during the
2002-2003 seasons and having watched his brothers Darren and
Sean follow in his footsteps by playing for the Tigers, Josh
Cobble begins his first season as the teams’ head coach.
Cobble was an All-American tennis player
at Cowley in 2002. Prior to coaching at Cowley he helped coach
the Duncan High School tennis teams. He coached the boy’s
team to a state title and the girl’s team to a runner-up
finish at the state tournament in 2007.
Cobble, who has also worked at the Baylor
University tennis camp, is excited about returning to Cowley.
“The best two years of my life were
at Cowley, so I’m looking forward to extending that time
as long as I can,” Cobble said. “I am looking at
a great team and am excited about what we have ahead of us
this year.”
Cobble played No. 6 singles both years at
Cowley. As a freshman, he advanced to the finals of the national
tournament. As a sophomore, he teamed with Tim Frick to reach
the semifinals of the national tournament at No. 3 doubles.
After Cowley, he spent two years playing
tennis at Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma. His brother,
Darren, played at Cowley during the 2003-2004 seasons, while
his brother, Sean, is a sophomore on the men’s team.
