He was just a country boy from Louisville, Ky that came to Texas (UT, that is) to play a little college tennis. He would go on to play the #1 singles spot for 4 years, lead his Longhorns to a Southwest Conference championship in ’77, and take out Johnny Mac in the NCAA doubles in ’78.

Teammate Steve Denton has plenty to say about why this is so well-deserved.
Congrats to GARY PLOCK on his 2018 induction into the University of Texas Sports, Hall of Honor!
