' RECORD and held on to win 2-1. Nd eo The Rams are looking forward to the 1982 season. In Mickey Mortorano, Coach Slingerland feels he has the top pitching prospect in the Catholic League for 1982. Hopefully the three starting juniors, Duke Sienkowski, Geno Pignataro, and Lou Vasta will provide the hitting to go along with Mickey’s pitching.

TENNIS The eyes of Yaro Dachniwskij display great concentration. Bottom Row: Kevin Ulbert, Won Yi, Tom Blake, John O’Connor, Arnold Martinez, Chris Visconti. Top Row: Assistant Coach Rev. John Nowak, Yaro Dachniwskyj, Gene Padolina Mike Ulbert, Roger Basa, Paul Mueller, Coach Fred Galluzo. Gordon’s 1980 tennis season can tru- ly be called a success story. Most of the team’s success can be attributed to its new head coach, Mr. Fred Galluzzo. Coach Galluzzo was decidedly going to make his a winning team. He began practice at McFetridge after Christmas and, as the weather improved, moved it outdoors to Horner Park. He began drills and practice matches and, as the season progressed, felt that we were ready. Our first match paired us against Ev- anston. We went out with confidence, but as the day’s events soon proved, we weren’t quite ready. All matches went to Evanston, including Chris Visconti’s grueling three setter which ended the day. Our next opponent was Oak Park- River Forest. Though we played better, the match was once a gain lost. In a conversation during the match, the op- posing coach told Coach Galluzzo that he saw a wealth of talent on our team. This revived the winning attitude Coach Galluzzo had held and gave the team new confidence. This confidence persevered and helped lead us to ar impressive 9-2 record in Catholic League play, including an outstandinc victory over Loyola. Additionally, Gor don placed third out of a field of ter at the Catholic League (North-sectional Tournament. . The factor which aided our winnin¢ record in perhaps the greatest sensi was the players themselves. This year’ Coach’s Award was presented to Joh’ O’Connor and Kevin Ulbert, Catholi League first doubles champions. Thes two were the strength and life of th team. Two exceptional players, the skill in doubles provided the team wi dependable victories. Chris Visconti, most valuable playe three years in a row, was undoubted! our most talented player. Chris’ con manding use of topspin enabled him attain his tremendous 16-4 record . first singles. . Yaro Dachniwskyj, 7 and 7 this se son, made some big improvements th year in moving up to second singles. |
