Comments from Head Coach Chad Bruns
“The 2020 boys tennis season was going to be one with many question marks but also one of many possibilities. After graduating six of our top nine players, the team was going to be quite different this year.
“The biggest advantage to our team was that we were returning our number-one player Brock Bruns, number-three player Mitchell Rueschenberg and our number-six player Carter Wagner. Brock and Mitchell are two-time letter winners while Carter joined our team as a sophomore. All three players helped our team out greatly last year as sophomores, so they will continue to contribute to our success next year. William Funke and Carter Bendorf are our lone seniors and would have competed for the three remaining varsity spots along with Nolan Blum (junior), Nick Anderson (junior), Samuel Clays (sophomore), Eric Torneten (freshman), Stephen Leinen (freshman), Edgar Mena (freshmen) and Andrew Andersen (freshmen).
“It was disappointing not having a season this year but all we can do is look forward to the 2021 season.”
