Hord-Wilson Ploce Second AT State Losing only one dual meet and finishing an easy first at district with the closest team eight points down, the Indian netters again showed the strength that they needed to defend the state champi- onship which they had held for six consecutive years. Sweeping the first three places in doubles at district - Steve Hard and Jim Wilson, first, Leonard Bo- deen and Brad Forrest, secondg and Bruce Bartlett and Mark Lerfald, third - and a second in singles from Dirk Stovall, the tennis squad had a formidable team for state play. Of the three doubles teams travel- ing to state, only Hard and Wilson were seeded, but they were seeded number one.
