OnFocus Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln Red Raiders Boys Tennis Season Preview

  • Key returners this season:
  • Elliott Schultz- Senior
  • Jonathan Penyak – Junior
  • James Baldwin- Junior
  • Carter Swen- Junior

We are going to go with 4 singles and no doubles teams.  Only have to forfeit 3 matches instead of 4.  Going to be an interesting year.

  • Strengths of your team:
  • The boys got a lot of varsity playing last year and are used to the pressures of playing Varsity Tennis in the Valley Conference.
  • Is their 2nd year with me as the Head Coach so the boys know what i am asking them to do and what I expect from them.  We are teaching new techniques and strategies to them to make them better players
  • Conference outlook:Being we only have 4 boys that are capable of playing Varsity Tennis, I would say that as a team it is going to be a struggle.  Our conference is always tough with a lot of talented players.  If the 4 on Varsity play like they are capable and continue to listen to what we are teaching them then a lot is possible.
  Our hope is that with the remaining boys they listen to what is being taught and in time, if appropriate, they can make the jump to varsity and make a team contribution.
