Mounds View Boys Tennis
Mounds View Boys Tennis has had a very strong tradition of winning. Michael Cartwright is in his 20th season as head coach. The Mustangs have earned 3 State Championships including back to back wins in 2004 and 2005. They have made it to the State Tournament in ten consecutive years. The Mustangs are currently playing in the Suburban East Conference and are the only team from any sport in the conference to never have lost a conference match. In the past five years the Mustangs have placed 2nd in state twice, 3rd once, consolation once, and 6th place once. Currently, Wyatt McCoy is the #1 singles player. He won the individual State Championship as an 8th grader and was a runner up in 7th grade and took third in 9th grade. He took 2 years off high school tennis to pursue national and international tournaments. He received a scholarship from Notre Dame, and is now playing for the Mustangs again in his senior year, hoping to re-claim his state champion status for singles, and also gain his first ever team state championship.
Current Captains for the 2011 season: Wyatt McCoy, Casey Anderson, Cole Thayer, Sam Hjelm and Max Schaper

Famous quotes containing the words view, boys and/or tennis:
“It is not so much that women have a different point of view in politics as that they give a different emphasis. And this is vastly important, for politics is so largely a matter of emphasis.”
—Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
“As long as male behavior is taken to be the norm, there can be no serious questioning of male traits and behavior. A norm is by definition a standard for judging; it is not itself subject to judgment.”
—Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 1 (1991)
“Like Olympic medals and tennis trophies, all they signified was that the owner had done something of no benefit to anyone more capably than everyone else.”
—Joseph Heller (b. 1923)
