The Spring Seniors: Kile Thornhill

“We first got to know Kile when he would occasionally hang out by the courts to watch his sister Macie play tennis for RHS. Even then, we knew he was going to be a good player for us if he decided to play. Since starting high school, each season he has steadily gottn better and he had his best start to tryouts this spring.

“Last season, using a punishing topspin forehand, Kile did a great job helping hold down the #1 doubles spot for Republic along with Isaac. Probably the most noteworthy doubles match last season for Kile was when Isaac and Kile paired up to win a huge #1 doubles match against Branson. Kile also finished second in #2 doubles (with Jack Cook) at the COC Tournament last spring.”
