2018 Faith Lutheran Boys Tennis Capsule

FAITH LUTHERAN

League: Class 4A Mountain

Head coach: Jeff Foley, eighth season

2017 record: 11-5 (9-3 4A Sunset/fourth)

Returning lettermen: Nine

Top athletes: Maxwell Blum (Sr.), Blake Kelly (So.), Taylor Pettigrew (So.), Hayden Coffing (Sr.)

Outlook: The Crusaders have some holes to fill after losing six starters to graduation.

Blum, who has racked up 68 wins in the last two seasons, will anchor the singles rotation, and Kelly and Pettigrew, who each had 32 doubles wins last season, will be atop the doubles lineup.

Coffing also returns and is expected to be a contributor.

Faith Lutheran should benefit from some young players and some former team members returning to the program.

Foley feels his team will be at its best down the stretch and is hopeful of making a playoff run.
