Marquette, MI – May 26th, 2026 – Today, Mason stepped out of his usual co-host role alongside Tyler and took over the driver’s seat to deliver a full U.P. tennis update. In the opening segment, the show revisited last week’s MPC Conference Tournament while also looking ahead to tomorrow’s Division 1 and Division 2 U.P. Finals. Listeners got an inside look at the tournament atmosphere, standout performances, and the continued success of local tennis programs across the Upper Peninsula.
Bancroft, who graduated from Ishpeming last year before joining the tennis coaching staff this season, provided firsthand insight and analysis from around the courts, giving listeners a unique perspective from someone still closely connected to the game.
During the second segment, the conversation shifted toward Mason’s personal tennis journey, offering a deeper look at the sport through his experiences as both a former player and now a member of the coaching staff. The discussion highlighted his growth in the game, the transition from athlete to coach, and the passion that continues to drive his involvement in U.P. tennis.
