Avery zavala - tennis athlete of the year 2016, 2018
Avery Zavala - Tascosa
Why Honored: Zavala went undefeated in the fall of his freshman year at No. 1 singles. He only lost two doubles all fall. That season, the Rebels advanced to the regional semi-finals.
In 2018, Zavala became the first Tascosa player to qualify for state in boy's singles in 12 years. He reached the 6A state quarterfinals before losing to the eventual state champion.
His spring record was 36-2 and in the fall, he was undefeated in 15 singles and 15 doubles matches.
Quotable: "I think it's a privilege living and playing in the Panhandle and it's an honor to be chosen and I'm just grateful to be in this position. Our team went to regionals and it was a really fun experience playing high school tennis."
