Chuck Correll, Sr., quipped a little later.
"I haven't lost to him since then," the younger Correll said.
Though Chuck, Jr. has since ruled the action on the courts, Friday, the elder Correll will have a chance for tennis redemption.
Correll, Jr. is the head coach of the Thomas Jefferson boys' tennis team.Section 5-AA rival South Park is coached by Correll Sr., a coaching veteran of more than a quarter century.

Chuck, Jr. advanced to the WPIAL singles and doubles (twice) tournaments as a Thomas Jefferson junior and senior before playing at Westminster College.
In addition to coaching the Jaguars, Correll Jr. is a part-time pro at Glen Creek Racquet Club and teacher at South Allegheny High School.
When the elder Correll retired from coaching to "be a dad" and watch Chuck Jr. and his two younger brothers play sports, he swears he thought he'd never go back.
But then Chartiers Valley High School called, desperate for a coach.
So a new chapter of Correll's coaching career began in 2000 with the Colts.It snowballed to where he is as busy as ever.
Correll, Sr., 54, also coaches the Thomas Jefferson girls and finds time for coaching Keystone Oaks eighth-grade boys' and girls' basketball teams.This, in addition to his day job as biology teacher at Keystone Oaks.
"I bet I'm the only guy coaching four sports in one school year," Correll said.
