This week’s Cedar Ridge Red Wolf of the Week is junior men’s tennis player Fionn Kuo. On Wednesday, Kuo reached the Mideast Regionals in doubles play along with partner Lev Bearman. They were voted the #1 doubles team from the Central Conference during the league’s tennis championships at the Burlington Tennis Center on Wednesday. This is Kuo’s first season at Cedar Ridge. He earned the #1 singles spot that Josh Mayhew left behind. This season, Kuo went 10-2 in singles play for a Red Wolf team that is 11-2. Kuo also teamed with Bearman to go 4-0 in doubles play. On Friday, Cedar Ridge will travel to Western Alamance. With a win, the Red Wolves will tie the Warriors and earn a share of the Central Conference championship. Among Kuo’s highlights for the season was a three-set win over Nathan Bermeo of Eno River Academy on April 4. He defeated Zac Blizzard of Durham School of the Arts 6-0, 6-0 on March 7. In his first match with the Red Wolves, Kuo defeated Yisak Turney of Southern Alamance 6-1, 6-0. Cedar Ridge has earned an automatic trip to the 3A State Dual Team Playoffs. Part of the reason for their continued strong play under new head coach Mike Rodgers is the play of Kuo, who will venture into the regionals at the Burlington Tennis Center next month.
