Jacob Kyle is one of the star players on the Penn Tennis Team.
What success do you see the Penn Tennis team having during the State Tournament coming up?
“I know that Penn blows up sectionals and regionals but will hit some difficulty at semi-state. I have full confidence that this will be Penn’s most successful year.”
We know you guys have been blowing out opponents recently but when do you plan to start having better competition?
“Our only real competition will be the homestead invite in 2 weeks and Culver from last week. We are a really strong team with year.”
How has the team bonded this season? Has there been any team bonding exercises?
“The team has bonded a bunch this year from our pasta party, constant practices, and the team bonding exercises are our runs.”
How often do you have practices and do you agree with them or believe they should be different?
“We have practices every day except for Saturday and Sunday. I feel like it’s a good amount for us especially since we practice so much outside of school.”
Who on the team brings everyone together the most and what do they do?
“Our captains bring our team together through leadership, role models, and actions of inspiration.”
Your duo partner Ben Stambaugh, what makes you guys such a good duo?
“We have played a lot together and both have characteristics that strengthen our team. Ben is very good at the net while I am a very strong baseline warrior.”
