Junior Mason Evans is a top student, tennis player, and Challenge Team member. As a third generation student, Evans feels pride in the community here at Flour Bluff ISD.
“I’m most proud to be part of that community that’s been around for so long,” Evans said. “With how close the community is, it gives me a great support system because I feel like I know everybody around.”
Throughout the years, Evans has learned tremendously from those around him- especially from the Hornet Superfan, Felix Deleon Jr.
“Seeing the hornet Superfan always reminds me most of the support from the community,” Evans said.
Evans has been in Flour Bluff tennis since 6th grade and is currently on the varsity team. Tennis has played a major role in shaping his daily lifestyle and mindset.
“Tennis has added some stress to school, but it’s been a ton of fun and I’ve learned a lot from it like resiliency and things like that,” Evans said.
As many know, Mason Evans is in the top 10% of his class rank. This gives him the motivation to keep working hard, knowing that he’s capable of success.
“Being top of the class is great but it’s nerve racking yet gives me the motivation to keep working hard,” Evans said.
Evans credits much of his academic accomplishments to his teachers and friends, who provide support and encouragement along the way.
“My teachers keep their lessons different and entertaining, and my friends keep school fun because they always have something funny to say or have a question about an assignment that gives it a new challenge,” Evans said.
While juggling tennis, grades, and his social life, Evans still finds time and enjoyment in his participation on the Flour Bluff Challenge Team. He has been a member since his freshman year and takes great honor being on the team.
“I’m very proud to have helped our team earn second place overall, I hope this year we can do even better,” Evans said.
As for his future, Evans has big goals ahead. He’s not only focused on excelling in his current activities but is also determined to make the most of every opportunity that comes his way.
