2012 Faith Lutheran Boys Tennis Capsule

Head coach: Jeff Foley, second season

2011 record: 9-4 (7-2 Northwest)

Returning lettermen: Two

Top players: Brandon Becker (Sr.), Mitch Taylor (Jr.), Mario Stadtlander (So.), Jack Stevens (Fr.), Hunter Wana (Fr.)

Outlook: Faith Lutheran experience plenty of success last season, but replicating it will be difficult after losing seven seniors. The Crusaders could start as many as six freshmen.

“Even though the roster is so new, we have hopes for the team,” Foley said. “Many of the freshmen were on the middle school team last year and have been working hard all summer.

“We are looking forward to being in the hunt for a spot in the regionals again.”
