The Shorewood boys tennis team begins its defense of their last season league championship Tuesday September 8 versus WesCo 4A league power Kamiak high school.

They host the Kamiak Knights at 3:30pm at Shorewood courts. Leading the team will be co-captains Hugh Gaevert and Kyle Berquist.

The T-Birds return 11 players from last year's 15-1 overall and 13-0 in WesCo 3A team. Berquist was a District 1 qualifier in doubles and Gaevert was one of the team's leading singles players.

Even though the team lost senior Cameron McDowell to graduation, the Thunderbirds will be very experienced in singles and doubles. Three of last year's top singles players, Gaevert, Jack Bong and Gunnar Thorstenson, return to form a formidable line up, along with Berquist, in singles. Doubles teams of Joseph Jang and Peter Smith, Cameron Harford and Simon Forinash solidify the doubles line up.
