Monroe High School Tennis Welcomes New Courts and Coaches for the 2025 Season

In a delightful development for tennis enthusiasts in Monroe, the local high school has finally rolled out its first major upgrades to the tennis courts in decades! After years of what some might call neglect, the resurfacing project kicked off in June, right after the school year wrapped up, and it couldn’t have come soon enough.

The newly upgraded tennis courts were ready just in time for fall practices, generating a buzz of excitement among students and coaches alike. With the improved friction on the new surface, players are already noticing a significant enhancement in gameplay. No more sluggish rallies; it’s all about that smooth serve and swift volley now!

Adding to the already vibrant atmosphere, the areas surrounding the courts have been painted in striking red, which perfectly aligns with Monroe High School’s primary colors. It’s a real pride booster for the players who now step onto courts that represent their school with every match.

This season’s tennis experience is further elevated with two new coaches stepping into the spotlight. Former player and Monroe alumnus from the class of 2006, Coach Stephen Reau, welcomes his old teammate, Coach Bill Ryan. Ryan, well-known for his previous role coaching the girls’ team, is now taking the reins of the boys’ team, ensuring a fresh approach with a familiar face.

On the flip side of town, the St. Mary Catholic Central has welcomed John Sorovetz as their new coach, who took on the responsibility just two days before the season began. Although he comes from a baseball coaching background, his wife Judy’s experience in high school tennis is sure to provide insightful tips to the young team. Speaking of young talent, St. Mary’s squad features seven freshmen, six of whom didn’t even own a racket until now!

Meanwhile, the tennis scene in Monroe is buzzing with different teams gearing up for intense competition. The Jets, coached by Jerry Eshcheck, are prepping with a tight roster of just 10 players, which is two shy of a full lineup. Among his top players are seniors Michael McDaniel and Gavin Linderman, both ready to showcase their skills.

The Trojans, now under the experienced guidance of Bill Ryan, also have impressive talents like seniors Cain Cole and Malakai Gorczyca who are eager to dominate their matches. Then we have the Marauders, the reigning Downriver League champions, coached by Rocco Giorgi, featuring standout players Kyle Salisbury and Joe Borowski. With such a roster, the competition is heating up!

Other teams in the area are not to be overlooked, as Nate Rodriguez is training a determined roster, led by seniors Zach Farmer and Matt Fink. Stephen Reau, while gearing up with his own crew, has senior star Max Hassett ready to shine on the courts.

In summary, the newly-resurfaced courts are receiving plenty of love and will be utilized throughout the fall season, encouraging all players to aim for the stars. Coach Reau has witnessed gradual improvements over the years as players prepare to face off in the highly competitive SEC Red Division.

With all these changes and new beginnings in Monroe, it seems like the tennis season of 2025 is set to be one for the books. The revitalized facilities and passionate new coaching staff are sure to inspire players and spark excitement among their supporters. It’s time to grab those rackets and get ready for an unforgettable season on the courts!
