Peter K. has been selected as this week's Warwick Valley
High School Student – Athlete of the Week, sponsored by
ALLSTATE Insurance Bill Garcia Agency of Warwick.
The sophomore tennis stand out has recorded an 11 – 2 record overall as Warwick Valley High School’s first singles player. The tennis team is currently 6 – 3 in division play and 8 – 5 overall.
The tennis team is coached by Kevin McGovern, former tennis standout at Warwick and 5th grade teacher at Sanfordville Elementary School. Peter has been playing varsity tennis since his 8th grade year and dedicates himself to improving his game year-round. The young sophomore competes in the fall tennis leagues at Sportsplex in New Windsor to sharpen his game for the spring. He hopes to make it to the State Tournament this year (held in Long Island).
Tennis is in the family blood line. His sister Christine played first singles for the womens’ varsity team this year and will compete for Manhattan College in the fall as she enters her freshman year of college. Peter is a very good student and carries an 85 average in his academic courses. He is a constant on the high school honor roll.
Peter K. is the son of Barbara and Chris K. of Pine Island. The family moved to Pine Island when Peter entered 2nd grade.
Warwick Valley High School and the Bill
Garcia ALLSTATE Insurance Agency are proud to honor Peter K.
as this week's Student – Athlete of the Week.
