Bobcat tennis update

BY MARIAH BALMER

The 2013 Bobcat tennis season has started off a little chilly with both the girls and boys teams being forced to practice inside, but Coach Kurt, the girls tennis coach, and Coach Stubben, the boys tennis coach, are hopeful that the snowy weather will not interfere with the season.

Both coaches have high expectations for the season. Stubben is hoping to win the WaMaC title for the first time in school history. Both teams have many returning letter winners, including Stacy Kass, Nicki White, Nikki Neal, Sam Niemen, Chris Dempsey, Lucas Lenz and Jordan Thompson. The girls’ first meet is scheduled for April 4 at Maquoketa, and the boys’ first meet is scheduled for March 30 at Prairie. Both coaches are looking forward to the season, although they get smacked by flying tennis balls everyday. Coach Stubben is specifically looking forward to convincing opposing teams that Eagle Point Park, where the home tennis meets are held, is also a bear preserve. All in all, the 2013 tennis season should be a good show of fun!
