What is it like to be a leader on the tennis team at Ashwaubenon? “It is fun having teammates come up to me and talk about not only tennis, but also school. Also, it is cool seeing not only the varsity players grow, but the J.V. players buy into what we are doing as a team and build with us.”
What is your most embarrassing moment ever in tennis? “My most embarrassing moment is probably when I was a ball girl for Emily and Marisa (fellow teammates) when they were playing a match. A ball rolled by and I wiped out by tripping over the bench’s leg trying to get up and get it. Emily thought I had knocked out my tooth.

Comments from Jaguar Assistant Tennis Coach Raelynn Wingert,
“Bitz has worked extremely hard at her game during these four years. She excelled in doubles in her junior season and made the smooth transition to singles for her senior season to help the team. Her all out hustle on every point is a trait that I wish every girl on our team would have. She truly gives it everything she has in each and every match.”
