A visit with…. Geoff Worley
Geoff Worley would be one of this year’s top JV tennis players, if we had a JV team. He was born in California on October 27th to Kyle and Mary Worley, and moved to Oak Harbor when he was only 1 year old. He has one older brother, Keath. Geoff attended Broadview Elementary, North Whidbey Middle, and is now a sophomore at OHHS.
This is his first year on the OHHS tennis team, although he has been playing recreationally with his father for some time. He really enjoys playing tennis, and it’s his only sport. He doesn’t really know why he likes it or why he chose tennis. It’s sort of like he just fell into it for something to do and found that he liked it. To date his most memorable tennis moment has been in a match where he hit the ball across the net softly, but with a lot of backspin. After crossing the net and hitting the opposite court, the backspin caused it ball to bounce back across the net and into Geoff’s court. It cost him a point, as he was near his baseline and couldn’t get to the ball.
He likes watching football the Everett Silvertips hockey team, and went to a ‘Tips game just a couple of weeks ago. His real love, however, when not playing tennis or doing his homework (he’s an A/B student), is playing video games. His preferred platform is the Xbox 360, and his preferred game is the Legend of Zelda series. After graduating, Geoff is looking at a career in the computer industry, as perhaps a graphic designer, software engineer, or game programmer. Geoff says his most memorable life moment so far was his first trip to Disneyland, when he was in 3rd grade.
At school his favorite subject is 10th Honors English, and his favorite teacher is Mr. Wesley, who he had for geometry as a freshman.
Other activities that Geoff has interest in are listening to ska music and tuning his radio to 107.7. He’s also a budding actor, participating in a number of plays at the Whidbey Playhouse. You may also see Geoff in the company of his girlfriend Laurin Rico, and you may find them watching the 80’s movie “Tron”.
When asked if there was anyplace in the world he would like to live, Geoff responded “Florida, in an area that doesn’t get hurricanes”. Good luck on that one, Geoff!
