We are proud to recognize the outstanding dedication, teamwork, and sportsmanship displayed by our Eastside Boys Tennis Team this season!
Under the leadership of Coach Brandon Jeong, these young men have earned an impressive 4–1 record while representing Eastside High with true class and integrity — both on and off the court. 💪
Their camaraderie has been unmatched, supporting one another through tough, grueling matches and consistently upholding the core values of our school. Even more impressive, they’ve earned compliments from opposing coaches and players for their exemplary sportsmanship. 👏
This is what it means to compete with character.
This is what it means to represent Eastside.
We are proud of you, gentlemen — keep raising the standard! 🎾💚🧡
