While Augusta tennis player Logan Ruddle found time to work on variety of fundamentals during the offseason, it was playing other sports that he thinks might be the most important.

“I have been doing a handful of things during the offseason including being active in two other sports and staying active and conditioned,” Ruddle said.

Ruddle has several goals he would like to achieve this season, which is his final one as an Oriole.

“The main goal for this year is I want to win more meets and be better leaders for the entire team now that we are seniors,” Ruddle said. “My main goal for the team is I want everyone on the varsity team to qualify for state and then individual I would like to get top five in the state.”

Ruddle experienced success last season by going to the state meet and he is expecting for that plus more in 2024.

“My partner, Logan Pfiefer, and I placed eighth at state last year and we are determined to come back again this year,” Ruddle said. “The thing I am most excited about this upcoming season is definitely going to state and getting to play with my senior boys for our last year.”
