McPherson College has announced the hiring of Sydney Bwalya as its new head men’s and women’s tennis coach, effective immediately.
“We are very excited to have Sydney joining the athletic department at McPherson College,” said Jenni Richardson athletic director, in making the announcement. “Sydney brings significant playing and coaching experience, and having coached at Barton County Community College, he brings a good knowledge of Kansas tennis."
