Casey Carlin has only been playing tennis for two years, but in that short time, he has already accomplished quite a bit.
It was fall of Casey’s junior year when the idea of playing tennis was planted in Casey’s mind, ironically, by LHS golf coach Daryl Robichaud.
“During a ride to a golf match, coach Robichaud mentioned that we should all try tennis, so I tried it out junior year,” Casey said.
Casey made the tennis squad as a junior and proved to be a quick study, a player who always works hard to improve his skills on a daily basis according to boys’ tennis coach Mark Moge.
“Casey always practices good sportsmanship and carries himself with pride whether he wins or loses a match, because he always puts in his best effort,” Moge said.
Casey is currently playing at the top singles position for the Blue Devils and was selected by Moge to be a team captain this season.
“He's the type of guy any coach would love to have on their team and I'm happy he's on mine,” Moge said.
Casey said he has focused on improving his tennis game each day.
“In order to get better you have to have an open mind and want it,” Casey said.
Casey also said he really enjoys the sport of tennis and being a part of the LHS team.
“I enjoy the challenge of facing harder opponents throughout the season,” Casey said. “I enjoy how my teammates push me to be a better player every practice and game.”
Casey hopes to continue playing tennis in college, whether that be intramural or club while studying Business Management with an intent to get his Master’s Degree within five years.
Here at LHS, Casey was a four-year member of the Blue Devil golf team. His favorite class was A.P. Statistics during his junior year and his favorite teacher was Mr. Noviello.
Outside of school, Casey enjoys golfing, working out, working and hanging out with friends.
