WILMINGTON, N.C. (WWAY) – The WWAY Student Athlete of the Week is Ethan Ten Brink from Hoggard High School.

His teachers describe the sophomore tennis player as “one of the most motivated, humble, respectful, responsible and kind students” they have ever taught.

On the court, Ten Brink represents the Vikings as their top singles player. He also won the doubles title at this week’s Mideastern Conference tournament, which advances him to Regionals next month.

Ten Brink says it feels good that he is thought of so highly by his teachers.

“It means a lot to me because I take school very seriously,” Ten Brink said. “It’s nice to know they recognize me in the classroom and on the tennis court. It’s an honor to me to be able to play number one on such a strong and such a deep team.”

Hoggard is currently undefeated in conference play.
