ac chang Varsity works with new players, JV finish second season After losing the top six Varsity players, Varsity Coach Joan Sullivan wasn't sure how well the team would do this year. l am very encouraged that we will go through this period more comfortable than anticipated, stated Sullivan. This will be a season of rebuilding and regroupingf' Over forty boys showed up for tryouts, the largest group yet. They were divided into the Varsity and Junior Varsity. Kevin Pachecojoined the staff as a fulltime Junior Varsity coach. Having Pacheco, Sullivan was able to work exclusively with the Varsity team. The Varsity faced a'tough schedule in the WCAL. After coming in third in league last year, Sullivan felt the team would be com- petitive and finish in the middle. They had to face tough pre-season matches against Westmont, Cupertino and Mountain View. Strong returning Varsity members con- sisted of John Little, Steve 'Baugher and Mike Helwig. Grant Gingerich, sophomore transfer student from Harbor High School, also brought his talent and skills to earn a high position on the team. Doubles team members need to have a great feeling for their partner, stated Sulli- van. What better partner than your brother? Bill and Bob Mannina are perfect examples of a remarkable sibling team. With Bill and Bob Mannina, each playing their first sea- son, they are looking forward to a prosper- ous season. -- Kirsten Kaercher Q With guts and determination, the J boy's tennis team hit the courts for its sec ond year. Expanding from a five-man team las year, whose record was 3-2, to the presen seventeen players, the program progresse with speed and enthusiasm. With ten matches set up for the season Coach Kevin Pacheco had a positive out look on the season. The kids are enthusiastic and raring t go. They're concentrating on their weak nesses and will get out there and do thei best, stated Pacheco. The program had run into some prob lems which entailed the sports budget an the court. So far, we've had time just getting ball much less anything else that is needed,' commented Pacheco. Court space was lo and caused the Varsity and JV to set up a alternating schedule for their use. The JV consisted mostly of freshme with some sophomores. This will giv everyone plenty of time to improve an eventually move up to Varsity, said Pache co. With the outstanding players l see no l think we're going to have a promising, not an inspirational, season. - Shana Waarich ...l rt Orosco Bob Mannina Jim Cieciorka, Bill Mannina, John g Quan Grant Bannon Second row: Grant Gingerich, John augher Nick DuBois Neil Martin, Jeff Brown, Karin Leigh, Renato DeLeon positi for a ret
