Former Whitewater High School tennis team member Betsy Hixson, recently signed a national letter of intent to play tennis for NCAA Division II member Dominican College of Orangeburg, New York.

Hixson played on the conference championship WHS team her freshman year before her family moved to Smithfield, Utah.

She played three years for Sky View High School, qualifying for the Utah State High School tournament in her junior and senior years.

Dominican College tennis coach Joseph Gravagna said he is excited to have Betsy on the team, and he is confident she will make a great addition to the tennis program at Dominican.

Hixson was also awarded an academic scholarship.

Former Whippet Daniel Fuller was recently voted to the All-Freshman Team by the coaches of the NCCAA DII South Region. Injuries and other personnel issues opened the door for Daniel to make the team right before the season started and caused the team to get off to a slow start. Midway through the season Daniel cracked the starting lineup and was a key contributor to the Bruins finishing 7-1 in their regional play.  Fuller averaged 8.3 points per game while shooting an impressive 43% from beyond the arc.

“I’m very happy for Daniel to receive this recognition from the coaches in our region,” Bruins men’s basketball head coach Burton Uwarow said. “He works hard and does things the right way while always looking to improve. We wouldn’t be where we are this season without him and the impact he has had on our team this year.”

On Thursday night the youth wrestlers of Whitewater had the opportunity to have a short practice on the varsity mat prior to the varsity competing against Clinton. It provided the young wrestlers the chance to show off to the fans what they have been learning so far in their season.  During the varsity competition the team appreciated the excitement the young wrestlers brought to the stands. After the dual meet the high school team had a meet and greet of the youth and gave out a trading card of themselves for the youth to have to remember the night.

It was an enjoyable experience not only by the youth but the high school wrestlers also stated it was a lot of fun meeting the young wrestlers.
