2016 Foothill Boys Tennis Capsule

FOOTHILL

League: Class 4A Southeast League

Head coach: Mark Richards, 13th season

2015 record: 10-4 (7-3 Southeast, third)

Returning lettermen: Eight

Top athletes: Ben Gonzalez (Sr.), Jacob Woodworth (Sr.), Ben Crawford (So.)

Outlook: On paper, the eight lettermen returning for Foothill looks really strong.

But the Falcons do have some holes to fill this year.

“Having lost seven seniors to graduation, three of whom finished fifth or better at state individually, we will be looking to rebuild,” Richards said. “We only have three returning players who competed in the team and/or individual region tournament, so experience will not be on our side.

“Our goal, as always, will be to qualify for regionals as a team.”
