  • Class Freshman
  • Hometown St. Louis, MO
  • Highschool Principia Upper School

Biography

Freshman Year (2019-20)
William joins the team as freshman from Principia Upper School and will immediately contribute in the lineup at 5th singles and 3rd doubles. William can rip his forehand, and on the doubles court he will help lead the greatly feared "MVG" with his volleys. As the first freshman to join the program in two years, William provides a positive and joyful presence that is widely appreciated by the rest of the old guys, senior citizens, and retirees who inhabit Hexberg these days. His growth as a player is evident even early in the spring season, as his practice performance and level of match play have steadily risen since the fall. We look forward to welcoming William to his first collegiate tennis season.
