Bobcat Athletes in the Spotlight

Athlete: Mason Hordubay  

Sport: Men’s Tennis

What I am Looking Forward to: I am looking forward to growing as a team and as a family. We have a lot of very talented guys and girls on the team this year. Even though we may not have any matches, that doesn’t mean we can’t put in the work and get better to take on the battles next semester.

What I Like Most About Tennis: What I like most about tennis is the atmosphere of the game. Tennis is considered one of the “gentlemen’s sports” especially in college and high school. Players are required to call when the ball is out and make calls on their own fairly. This is one of the many reasons I fell in love with the sport.

Advice to my Teammates: Advice to my teammates is to be coachable and take your coaches word like your life depended on it. The only way you get better is trusting yourself and the people around you. Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. That’s something my family has always told me and I remember that everyday. Let’s go Bobcats!

Athlete: Danielle Gansert

Sport: Volleyball

What I Will Miss Most While Not Having a Season: What I will miss the most about not having a season is the bond you create while playing together 6 days a week. Even though we are close, we do not get the opportunity to hangout outside of practice due to COVID restrictions which could create a closer bond.

What I Like Most About Volleyball: The thing I like most about volleyball is that it is a team sport but you are individually accountable. I like how you have to individually try your best so the team can reach their end goal and win. The sport is very competitive and challenging but fun at the same time.

Advice to my Teammates: My advice to teammates would be not to cheat yourself. No matter what you are doing, you should always give your best efforts.
