Mike Terranova first picked up a racket when he was five or six, his grandparents had a tennis court in their back yard. "I just goofed around a bit," said the junior Terranova. But he's not goofing around now.  Terranova is the team's co-captain and has posted the team's best record for the season.  Head coach Paul Bergeson says Terranova has great abilities and is a natural player, he should know since he's been coaching Terranova since he was 11 and playing at the Willows.
