Bulldog tennis to be coached by Bivens

Posted by Staff on Wednesday, March 19, 2025

Season opener is March 28 at home

By Cort Reynolds

For spring 2025, the Ada High School boys tennis team has 13 players on its roster led by one senior ace and coached by new mentor Carter Bivens.

Seven lettermen and five seniors are back from last season.

Pictured above) The Ada varsity tennis team, L-R, front row: Rey Hurley, Nathan
Williams, Tori Rausch, Luke Archer, Mohamad Khalil. Row 2: Steven Fisher, Peyton Karsten, Gio Hurley, Lawson Klingler. Back: Cayden Wise, Justin Bowden, Sam Crawford, Brandon Prater, head coach Carter Bivens.

Senior Nathan Williams easily tops the returnees. The quick southpaw has a good serve, fine speed and quickness, and a strong forehand. He was the top Bulldog player last spring and was one of the top two Ada netters as a sophomore.

Sophomore returnee Brandon Prater is expected to hold down the second singles spot.
