Fullhart takes over as tennis coach
By rongi Yost
Correspondent
Susan Fullhart will take
over the reins as Sisters High
Schools (SHS) girls varsity
tennis coach this spring.
Tennis has always been a part
of Fullhart’s life, and she’s
excited about her team and
the season ahead.
Fullhart played tennis in
high school and has played
recreationally ever since.
The past several years, Susan
has played singles on the
USTA (United States Tennis
Association) team and has
traveled to Eugene, Salem,
and Medford to compete.
“My game’s not pretty,
but I get the job done,” said
Fullhart. “I’m just very com-
petitive and scrappy. I’ve
never had pretty strokes, but
I can win points.”
Susan’s three boys, Sam,
Ben, and Paul, all played
four years of varsity tennis
at SHS. The entire family,
including Don, Susan’s hus-
band, are die-hard players
and play together whenever
they get the chance.
“Tennis has been a real
connector for our family,”
said Fullhart. “We play
together all the time. The
boys are a lot better than I
am, but they still take me out
for a hit and I’m honored.
They’re out there hitting
those hard top-spin shots,
and I’m chasing them down
with a big smile on my face
and loving every minute of
it.”
Fullhart has been involved
in SHS tennis from its incep-
tion. When the boys tennis
team started under Boyd
Stuwe in 2006, Susan helped
out in a variety of ways: driv-
ing, taking care of uniforms,
and reporting scores, and she
has stayed connected ever
since.
Fullhart has watched the
SHS girls play tennis and
gone to their matches for
years and is thrilled with the
opportunity to coach.
“I’m very tactical and will
be able to strategize with the
girls,” said Fullhart. “I think
I will be a good coach at all
levels. I’m good with the
girls who are there to strictly
have fun with their friends,
and also good with the ones
who want to go to state. I will
work with them to try and
achieve that goal.
“I’m excited about tennis
from a competitive perspec-
tive, a fitness perspective,
and the fun of a life-long
sport, and look forward to
building relationships and
working with the girls.”
Susan is also looking for-
ward to working alongside
the boys coach, Bim Gander.
