 Will the Port Huron Northern tennis team win states this year? They are a talented team led by senior captains Franklin Brozovich (‘16) and Dane Wirtz (‘16).

  Brozovich has been on Port Huron Northern's Tennis Team all four of his high school years as the first singles player. This is a great accomplishment for a fantastic athlete.

  Brozovich is pleased with the way the team has performed so far. “The team is doing well this year. We  won the MAC Red, staying undefeated, and we also won regionals” said Brozovich.

 While Brozovich is pleased with the season thus far, Wirtz is looking to continue the success. “I’m hoping for a top ten finish in states,” Wirtz said.

  The captains say they both pump the team up and keep everyone on track during practices and before matches. They want the team to improve.

  This season the tennis team had a new coaching staff. The captains believe these coaches make practices more structured and help the team improve.

  Both captains predict that the team will be good next year as well.    These captains believe that if the team keeps up the hard work that they put in this year they should keep improving and will be an incredible team once again. With the team only losing two seniors most of the team will have good experience and should improve for next year.

  Both of these captains were on the team last year and they both agree that the experience of last years states tournament will help them in the tournament this year.

  Brozovich and Wirtz hope they can be as good of leaders as the seniors from last year like Varun Nandamudi. Role models like this help motivate athletes to be the best they can be.

  Hopefully Port Huron Northern’s talented Tennis Team will continue their success at states. The team’s hard working and skilled captains will keep the team on track and motivated to do their best and hopefully bring home a win.
