| How did the Wimberley high school tennis team build an 8-3 fall season record in TEAM TENNIS? Well, there were some good TEAM wins along the way like Thursday evening’s 18-1 victory over LaVernia. But it really happened with a good collection of young people who want to play hard for their school, their community and each other. It really came into focus when we had strong senior leadership and good tennis from Aaron Willis, Mason Stark, Michael Young, Hunter Cawley, Anna Lindsey, Hannah Whisenant, Mackenzie Araiza, and Brenna Sturdivant. Then when we mixed in even more strong play from underclassmen Aubry Ruckman, Amy Bell, Vilde Arnoy, Taylor Treadwell, Hallee Allen, Mesa Martorell, Clinton Quinn, Pierce Fulkerson, and Chamath Dharmasiri, the season really took shape. Several other players have contributed and their results as well as the players listed above can be found below. Thursday’s 18-1 victory in TEAM TENNIS was the final match of the Fall Season. The next TEAM TENNIS action will take place for the Texans on Saturday, Jan. 21st in San Marcos against both San Marcos and 3A Bellville. This past Fall season saw wins against Boerne (twice), Canyon Lake, Fredericksburg, Liberty Hill, Hutto, Austin Bowie, and finally LaVernia. The upcoming Spring season will feature both TEAM TENNIS duals and tournaments as the Texans play from January thru the end of April. Thursday evening’s highlights included many players who won both their doubles match and their singles match. For the girls, Anna Lindsey, Mackenzie Araiza, Hannah Whisenant, Aubry Ruckman, and Amy Bell all won twice. For the boys, Sam San Marco, Clinton Quinn, Pierce Fulkerson, Chamath Dharmasiri, Mason Stark, and Mesa Martorell also won two matches. The match was played in La Vernia on October 20th at their new tennis complex and concluded in the cool twilight hours of a nearly perfect Fall night. Hope the weather is that nice when we play again on Jan. 21st. Greg Howard Asst. Principal, Wimberley Jr High Head Tennis Coach, Wimberley High School |

TEXAN TENNIS |
| TEXAN TENNIS BACK IN ACTION! It’s January and the 2nd semester has started for WHS and that means it’s also back to the tennis courts for the WHS Tennis Team. The last action for the Texans was a TEAM TENNIS dual at the end of October. The Texans had finished the Fall portion of the season with an 8-3 record. However, if there was rust from that layoff, it didn’t stop the Texans from gaining a 9th TEAM victory. On a cool and blustery January 21st, Wimberley defeated Boerne by a score of 14-5. In the singles matches, Wimberley dominated play and was able to win 11 out of 12. WHS sure seemed to need them all, though, as Boerne actually had a 4-3 advantage after doubles play was completed. Those three doubles wins for the Texans came courtesy of Wimberley’s Mason Stark & Mesa Martorell, Sam San Marco & Clinton Quinn, and Michael Young & Landon O’Neal. Down 4-3 after doubles, the singles victories slowly began to pile up in favor of Wimberley as first Clinton Quinn picked up a win, followed by Sam San Marco, Aubry Ruckman and Michael Young. Those were followed by more singles wins from Anna Lindsey, Mason Stark, Mesa Martorell, Hannah Whisenant, Lizzy Lamb, Amy Bell and finally Pierce Fulkerson. The teams were able to play a few extra individual matches and Daniel Donaldson and Landon O’Neal were able to pick up good wins in those matches. Boerne and Wimberley tennis matches are always good, hard-fought battles and the 11 singles wins were a testament to how hard the WHS tennis players worked during the break to improve. Next tennis action for the high school team will be Saturday, Jan. 28th as Wimberley plays TEAM TENNIS against Mason High School (the defending 1A State TEAM TENNIS Champions) and Abilene Wylie (the defending 3A State TEAM TENNIS Champions). |
