2018 Silverado Boys Tennis Capsule

League: Class 4A Desert

Head coach: Matt Philips, seventh season

2017 record: 6-7 (6-4 4A Sunrise/fifth)

Returning lettermen: Seven

Top athletes: Gus Pappas (Sr.), Owen Cox (So.)

Outlook: Pappas was 23-11 last season and anchors a group of seven returning lettermen for the Skyhawks.

Cox went 16-13 as a freshman and should be among the team’s top players as Silverado looks to contend for one of the top playoff spots in the Desert Region.
