Tennis Team Nets Season Without Fault Under the direction of new coach Miss Pam Sattler, the tennis team had a very exciting season. After countless hours of practice in the warm weather of early fall, the team placed third at districts and sent three members to the state tournament. Scott Mason took third place at state playing singles, and David Reuter and Tom Entwistle com- peted playing doubles. His strong performance throughout the sea- son enabled Scott to be voted Most Valuable while working hard all summer and fall earned David the position of Most lm- proved.

Golfers Play The Fair Way Coached by Mr. Gary Riter, who was selected by the Gazette Tele- graph as Coach of the Year, Air Academy's golf team had a very successful season. A dedication to excellence and the will to be No. 1 were also factors that kept the golfers going through long practices and changing playing conditions. Seniors Ken Anderson, Jeff Cliatt, Ed Givens, and Kyle Williamson had been playing on the school's golf team since they were sophomores and as seniors they became the team captains. During the summer Ed and Jeff played for Eisenhower, and Kyle and Ken played for Wood- moor. The competition was im- mense, but when they came to- gether this fall they provided the leadership which enabled the less- experienced players to grow. The team finished the year first in the City League and first in the SCL. They also finished first at Districts. The four captains then went to Fort Collins and placed sixth in a field of 24 teams in the state champion- ships. With four State qualifiers graduating, other team members will have their work cut out. Promising sophomore Jim Nelson putts Ctop leftl.
