Ladies and gents, Jason Knoll!!
Jason Knoll is keeping a proud family tradition alive.
The Coupeville High School senior is preparing to launch into a new season on the tennis courts for the Wolves, the second Knoll to stalk the hard-courts at CHS.
“This is my fourth year of tennis,” Knoll said. “My brother (Garrett) had played before me, so I wanted to follow in his foot steps.”
A two-sport star — Knoll was the captain of the Wolf JV boys’ soccer squad in the spring and was voted MVP after netting a pair of goals from his left midfield position — he enjoys the flow of tennis.
“I love the pace of the game, it’s fast and intense!,” he said. “My strengths would have to be my serve and my forehand; I still need to work on my backhand.”
While Coupeville has a roster deep in experienced players, with Knoll one of a group of players with extensive prior varsity playing time, the senior is more concerned with enjoying his final go-around than in setting any specific win totals as a goal.
“My goal this season is just to have fun and enjoy playing with all of my friends,” Knoll said.
When he doesn’t have a racket in hand, Knoll can often be found pursuing his other passion. A member of the school’s jazz band, he says “music has always been a big part of my life.”
A “Star Wars” and “Harry Potter” buff, Knoll enjoys his physiology and contemporary issues classes and is quick to acknowledge the role the people closest to him have played in his development.
“The people who have had a big impact on my life would be my family and all my friends,” Knoll said. “They have always supported me in everything I do and have always stood by my side for whenever I need them.”
