SKI INN Tap Room and Hotel COMING IN 2020! www.pacwest.com CCB#211007 The boys varsity tennis squad returns several players this year, and taking charge at the No. 1 singles spot will be junior Nate Weber. Weber qualified for State last year and won a consolation match to make it to the second day of competition. Prior to the State Tournament, Weber only lost one singles match, and each one was to a player who advanced to State at their classification. Nate is expected to be one of the dominant singles players in the district this year, and Coach Carl Click told The Nugget that a district singles championship is within his reach. <Nate plays a lot in the off-season with his father, so he9s getting better, but he9s also getting taller and stronger and faster,= said Click. <He9s unique in that he hits the ball hard from the baseline, but also comes to the net aggressively, which many high school play- ers don9t do or don9t know how to handle. To be the best, Nate knows he needs to develop a more consis- tent first serve, and stronger, yet, reliable second serve.= Seniors Brogan Peterson, Sam Mayes, Drew Collins- Burke, and Osmond Bates will comprise the Outlaws top doubles teams in com- binations yet to be decided. Collins-Burke and Bates made a surprise run to the district quarterfinals from the No. 3 position last year, and See TENNIS on page 15
