Twelve players return to boys tennis team

Twelve players will return to the boys tennis team this year. Joining them will be five new players, including a foreign exchange student from Germany.

The 2007 roster includes: Evan Sims; Jordan Wellman; Johannes Trout; Charlie Phillips; Ryley Newport; Will Newport; Dylan Stuwe; Eric McKinley; Sam Fullhart; Jake Thomas; Erick Sellgren; Shyama Ellis; Nick Anthony; Nathan Uttley; Geoff Houk; D.J. Schlenfer; and Justin Oliver.

Evan Sims is one of the Outlaws back again for another season. Sims went to state in doubles last year but this year will compete as a singles player.

Also playing singles this year will be Johannes Trout and senior Jordan Wellman, who was a singles stand-out last year.

The rest of the Outlaw line up has not yet been established. Coach Boyd Stuwe stated there is still one singles slot available and the doubles positions could be mixed any number of ways due to the excellent returning talent.

"We have a very competitive team this year and should be strong contenders at every position," said Stuwe.
