Even though the weather may be gloomy, the boys’ tennis team is expecting to return with a bright season this year.
With the number of returning and new players, Joaquin Ganoza, junior, is confident that the team will be strong.
“[I believe] the team this year should be pretty solid with a lot of well-balanced players that will have good chemistry with each other,” Ganoza said.
Ganoza, who has been on varsity since his freshman year, has been practicing with LZHS tennis alumni and opposing schools’ players to stay in top shape and to get a sense of what the competition is going to be like this year. He has also done this in the past years as well.
“Being one of the few upperclassmen on the team [this year], I feel like it is my job now to help build the new incoming players so then when season comes around, they will have experience on how the tough the competition will be depending on their position in the team,” Ganoza said. “Being a new leader is a big responsibility. My job is not only to focus on myself and how I perform, but also to help others succeed and become future leaders.”
