How one of Louisiana's smallest schools produced one of the state's top tennis players
Jon Nguyen is one of the best high school tennis players in Louisiana. He's ranked fourth in the state among all boys 16 years of age or younger. He's ranked 14th when expanded to 18 or younger. He has a Universal Tennis Rating of 7.8 — a rating comparable to most college players and even some professionals — and he competes in United States Tennis Association tournaments across the country. To top it all off, he's a two-time high school state champion.
