Sam Wynn
No head games with this guy.
Despite being talented in many different fields, Sam Wynn doesn’t seem to have a raging, out-of-control ego. At least not when it comes to describing his still-developing tennis game.
“Well, I’m an average player,” the Coupeville High School sophomore said. “I have an OK forehand and my serves are getting a lot better. But my backhand is terrible and that is what I need to work on.”
Still, for a second year player, Wynn made huge strides this season as a doubles player, as he and Garrett Compton came dangerously close to pulling out a win in their match-up with powerful Archbishop Thomas Murphy in the season finale.
Now the goal is to keep fine-tuning his game (“I like playing and making good shots”) in the off-season to be ready for the next two years.
Regardless of what level he finishes at, Wynn came to the sport to spend time with friends, and that has paid off big time.
“Well, I would say my friends, Dawson (d’Almeida), Sebastian (Davis) and Shane (Squire) pushed me to play and I did and loved it,” Wynn said. “My parents also supported me, as well as my grandparents.”
A young man of varied interests, Wynn bounces between playing the guitar, video games and the challenges he finds in his favorite class, math.
He also participates in the CHS drama productions and is considering playing basketball like younger brother Gabe in the winter.
When it’s time for a movie, he leans towards the fantastic.
“My favorite movies are action or sci fi,” Wynn said. “I just watched “Pacific Rim” recently and loved it!”
