Tennis

“I believe there is a very bright future for the tennis team. The past year, I truly felt like there was a great support system within the team, and everyone got along very well. I also think the skill of the team will advance, as well. Many girls have so much potential, and I think they will become fantastic tennis players.” -Team Captain, Annika Goetz (12)

Hockey

“I am very eager to see how the boys hockey team performs in the future. We had a very young team, over half of it was freshmen and sophomores. But now that they have a year of high school hockey under them, I am confident they can perform well next year.” -Team Captain, Zayne Zeichert (12)
