Here is an update from Coach Dufresne on the start to the HHS tennis season:
Tennis season has begun! With 55 student athletes hitting the courts this year, including a returning state champion, players who have worked hard this off offseason seeking deep state runs, players coming off injury, players hoping to make state, players hoping to make the varsity squad, & players swinging a racquet for the first time hoping they belong, and players just hoping to find joy. I am excited for the opportunity to yet again coach a great group of student athletes. The first few weeks are always a blur. Here is a recap of the first few matches.
3/27 vs. Polson & Libby: We were (shockingly) lucky to have reasonable weather for the 1st match of the season in Polson. Note, it often gets cancelled. The 1st match of the season is always a breath of fresh air, like taking a 1st step down a path to be traveled together where the destination is joy & camaraderie.
3/28: We hosted Dillon & Ronan on Saturday on what is among the finest facilities in the state with our new courts. As it was the start of spring break, all 3 squads were short players, though in many ways, it worked out because players who are working hard for court time get a chance to lace ‘em up & have some fun. Nervous excitement bubbled from all 3 teams.
4/7: The team traveled to Anaconda where we were NOT treated to nice weather. What at times seemed like hurricane speed wind gusts made play difficult. To the players' credit, they didn’t flinch, even those players experiencing the joy (and stress) of tennis for the 1st time.
As with any sporting event, there were great wins & tough losses, as well as tough wins and great losses.
But as it is the start of the season, instead of focusing on wins & losses, I would rather focus on the great group of student athletes (and manager) who, as a collective, are going to make this year, and this journey, magical...
Artem Akopyan, Alexis Anson, Reagan Ayala, Peyton Boggs, Zeph Cawley, Bryn Cianflone, Codie Clarke, Hannah Clinton, Reece Dennis, Avery Dowdy, Brayden Duce, Jorja Duerr, Lila Dufresne, Elena Embleton, Otto Gantz, Garren Gunderson, Paisley Hamilton, Ciara Hanley, Ellie Hattlestad, Kari Hattlestad, Cash Hawkes, Rhain Hollingsworth, Charlie Holmes, Jasmine Jimenez, Jordin Jones, Kiera Judy, Panni Kari, Jackson Kirkbride, Tula Lueck, Aniston Martz, Eleanore McClung, Alyvia Melton, Camilla Molina, Lily Monaco, Simon Nadl, Julio Nolte-Cuadrado, Kora Olsen, Tatum Ricklefs, Ryder Rodriguez, Taylor Seaton, Tim Sigloch, Lillian Simmeran, Oliver Simpkins, Eden Smith, Hannah Snyder, Sashi Sokol, Estella Sosa, Lydia Standaert, Kaylee Steward, Jayce Strain, Micah Strain, CJ Torres, James Tossberg, Greyson Weber, Andrew Weston, and Josie Wolfe.
Also, a huge thank you to the coaching staff of Christina Weidcamp, Patrick Hanley and volunteers Aaron Riley & Fred Huskey. The journey wouldn't be possible without them.
I hope I didn't miss anyone, but if I did, as I tell my players, failure is absolutely a part of eventual success.
I can’t wait to see where the journey with this group leads us.
We have a match today, Thurs 4/9, versus Corvallis. JV will play at the Westview courts, and Varsity will play at the HHS Courts. I encourage you all to come watch this amazing group of student athletes battle our neighbors, friends, & rivals, the Corvallis Blue Devils. Matches start at 3:00, and will probably run until around 7:00ish.
The 2026 Hamilton tennis team has another opportunity to create something special. I am certain we will. See you on the courts.
