Boys Tennis: West Feature Athlete - Beaver's Tim Dikec
Name: Tim Dikec
High School: Beaver
Grade: 12
Sport: Boys Tennis
Position: First singles
Background Info: Dikec was a WPIAL Class AA singles tournament qualifier after he placed third at the Section 2-AA tournament earlier this month. A four-year starter who has moved up the Bobcats' lineup, Dikec teamed with then-senior Phillip Williams to advance to the quarterfinals of the WPIAL doubles tournament last season.
Coach Riley Baker says: "He's consistent. He keeps the ball in play and moves it around pretty well. He runs the ball down pretty good. His strokes aren't really that hard -- there's decent pace on them -- but his main attribute is his ability to keep the ball in play with good consistent ground strokes."
