Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

Tennis Truths
The Unexpected Competition Of College Tennis

Every year, high school tennis players strive for greatness by attempting to reach their goal of playing on a college tennis team and many also try for scholarship money. Achieving this, however, is far more of a challenge than one would expect, due to the competitive nature of the sport and the limited number of offered scholarship programs.
According to CollegeScholarships.org, the most common form of scholarship money is from the National Collegiate Athletic Association, or NCAA. In terms of options for women’s tennis, there are approximately 320 Division I, 212 Division II and 361 Division III scholarship programs and the NCAA allows for eight scholarships for each Division I and six for each Division II. Men’s tennis, on the other hand, is even more of a challenge, where there are about 263 Division I, 161 Division II and 314 Division III tennis scholarship programs and each Division I and Division II are allowed about four and a half scholarships.
Varsity tennis player and junior, Bryce Bailey, said that despite being a United States Tennis Association champ in the 18s age bracket, he is doubtful he will have the opportunity to play in college.
“As far as college tennis goes, I’m not really sure if I will [play] because scholarships are only offered to Division II and above,” Bailey said. “College tennis is extremely competitive because you’re competing for a spot on any college team with people around the world. [This includes] Europeans, plus a good majority of college players are nationally or internationally ranked.”
According to Scholarshipstats.com, a website which uses and compiles statistical data from many official college team rosters, only an average of 4.4 percent of high school boys and 4 percent of high school girls go on to play college tennis. Due to this information and the personal experiences of the players, Bailey is not the only one who isn’t sure about playing in college.
“College tennis is a mental game and individual game,” varsity tennis player and sophomore, Sierra Setliff, said. “I might just play as a hobby to focus on my studies because I know how much time is put into college tennis and I’d rather spend it on my [education].”
One student-athlete, however, is planning on taking it to the big leagues. After deciding to take her senior year off from the school tennis team to focus on her education and her own personal game, senior Kylee Ramsey said that she hopes to play collegiate tennis in a competitive conference with a school that has a solid record.
“Playing collegiate tennis has been the biggest dream of mine,” Ramsey said. “To have the opportunity to play a sport I love while also furthering my education is something I’m so grateful for. I want to be part of a team that is built on a close-knit community, where we encourage one another to accomplish a new goal each day.”
Ramsey’s current plan is to play for a Division III school, but these schools are not authorized by NCAA to give scholarship money. Although, according to Ramsey, most schools will work with the coach to figure out a way to get the student as much financial aid as possible if they believe that that the student is a strong contender for their team. The student is also required by most schools to fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA.
“I personally have applied to a few local scholarships already,” Ramsey said. “Every coach I’ve talked to thus far has told me I will receive money from the university based on my GPA [and] test scores.”
While college tennis is something Ramsey is working hard towards, she also said that she is well aware of the dedication and perseverance it takes to be on a team and is ready to take on the challenge.
“I truly think tennis is competitive because of the fact that everything you do is dependent upon yourself,” Ramsey said. “Tennis is also very much a mental sport. If you feel nervous, then you’re going to get tense and it will reflect in your game. I have yet to decide where I will be playing, but I know that playing college tennis will be the best years of my life.”
