Benton Central girls tennis coach Jim Pilarski was known for his dry sense of humor and turn of phrase whenever one of his players seemed to find themselves in a slump.

"He always believed in us and pushed us to be our best," sophomore Violet Hardebeck said.

Assistant coach Nick Nassos plans to build a hitting wall in honor of his beloved friend.

"It's been really tough, but I've done a good job teaching the things he believes in," Nassos said.
