Entering her fourth season as the head coach,
Rosanna Chatman guided her first two teams to
undefeated South Coast Conference seasons before
coming in second place last year. The back-to-back
championships were the first for the Falcons in
school history. She took her first two teams to the
Southern California Regional Playoffs and in her
three seasons has a combined record of 33-10. Two
seasons ago, her team was ranked #4 in Southern
California and reached the second round of the
playoffs. Once again, she has brought in a strong
group of freshmen to compliment the returning
players. Chatman spent one season as an assistant
coach before taking over as the head coach three
years ago. Now in the lead position, Chatman looks
to help strengthen the team from top to bottom after
assisting Terri Button three seasons ago and
bringing with her a familiarity of the program.
Back in 1993-94, Chatman
played for Button at Cerritos College and was the
team’s #2 singles player and formed one half of the
team’s top doubles team as a sophomore. Upon
graduation, she received a scholarship to play
tennis at Cal State Dominguez Hills. Chatman is also
currently the head varsity tennis coach at Cerritos
High, a position she has held since 1998.
Chatman is married and
has three sons – Daniel (9), Michael (7) and Aaron
(5). |
