Tennis is a team-based competitive sport where players' teamwork and attention are key. Pueblo County High School’s Boys Tennis team makes sure that all those boxes are checked.

“I chose to be a tennis coach because I love the game, and I like the Hornets team. My son plays on it, so I wanted to just share the knowledge I have and hopefully bring a competitive advantage to a head coaching position,” said Head Coach, Matthew Hepworth.

This is Hepworth's first year coaching the boys tennis team. Being a fan of the Hornets team, this job was right up his alley. Even having his own son on the team, this is the perfect job for him.

“I joined tennis because when I was really young, I watched my dad play tennis, so I wanted to. After watching him, I just kind of picked it up and did lessons,” said Senior, Kenyon Hepworth.

Kenyon Hepworth has been on the county sports Boys Tennis team for 4 years now. With his father being the head coach, he knows tennis like the back of his hand. Being motivated at all times to keep the team moving.
