At regionals, in April, we wiped everyone out within three sets, said a confident Doug Holmes in reaction to his and Mitch Michulka's regional win. The Eagle doubles team won with scores of 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 over Brad Rice and Tim Lootens of Houston Klein. The team earned Holmes and Michulka a trip to state where they lost to Bryan, 7-6, 6-3. At the spring regionals competi- tion the girls' doubles team of Hol- ly Hayes and Tiffany Ames placed 3rd in regionals, losing only to Chris Freeman and Claire Sessions of Hlghland Park 6-4, 4-6, 5-7.

But, when regionals came around Holmes took over for Campbell who was disqualified. During the season coach CDavidD Ricks got us all together, and we really worked hard, said Hayes. In the fall season the team's work also paid off with the District 12-5A Championship over 2nd- place Plano, Oct. 13-15. In the semifinals the Eagles smashed Plano Senior High 10-3 and ad- vanced to the finals where they beat Lake Highlands 11-7. The Eagles came in 2nd at regionals losing to powerhouse Klein, 10-4, in the finals. We had a strong chance to go to state, said junior Marianne Dunn. Actually, the finals of regionals were the same as state because Klein was last year's champs. Tennis is one of the only sports where you are competing against others and yourself, said senior Katie Hazelwood. - Christina Watson!Traci Stafford f -.Ns-Max - -G2 Tx, In a tight squeeze senior Robby Scholl hits a back-hand. fTillapaughj

Both points were made by Kevin Archuleta. Before their game against Dun- canville, the Eagles beat Houston Klein Forest 2-1 in overtime in the Semi-finals. In the first half, mid- fielder David Swearingen scored only to have Klein Forest score in the second half. Forward Nick Ef- thimiou came through for the Eagles in overtime with a penalty kick. In District play the boys' first major obstacle was the Pearce Mustangs, their skilled arch-rivals and winners of the last two State Championships. We were not intimidated by this obstacle 1PearceJ because we had 'the attitude,' said Swearingen. Before every game Coach Walther and the team would circle up and each player would give a word of inspiration to pump the team up,', explained John Watson. This was 'the attitudef In their first meeting with the Mustangs, the Eagles were defeated 2-0. It was the turning point of our season, said centerback Tommy Simmons. When the Warbirds confronted Pearce in the regional playoff game at Clark Stadium in Plano, the game ended in a shoot-out, one-on-one with the goalie. In the first 8 minutes of the game, co-captain Allen Higgins scored with a header followed in the second half with a goal by Peace's midfielder Scott Russell. Scoring their free kicks in the shootout were Eagle fullbacks Jeff The Varsity Soccer Team includes ffrontj Tommy Simmons, Eric Gross, Andre Teix- eiria, Charlie Wells, Jeff Hornsby, Allen Higgins, Nick Efthimiou, Paul LaJoie, 188 f Sports Kevin Archuleta, Kyle Redfearng fbackj John Berkhart, Jeff Knight, David Allston, John Watson, Mark Walgren, Chris Foley, Doug Martin, David Swear- ingen, Brad Horn, Scot Aubuchon and coach Jim Walther. fGekierej Hornsby and sweeper Paul Lajoie while sweeper Jeff Agoos scored for Pearce. Winning the regional game was the highlight of the season, said Higgins. That was the game. Everybody on the team knew what it took to win, said coach Jim Walther, so I was supremely confident of winning the State Championship. The Eagles swept the district awards by placing 5 players on first team All-District and one on second. Plus, 4 players were named to the All-Tournament team in Austin. They included Higgins, Foley, Simmons and Ef- thimiou. The players named to the All-district team were Higgins, Simmons, Foley, Efthimiou and Hornsby.
