Winning Wasn ' t Everything The Difference Between Saying And Believing It While the tennis team didn ' t literally begin each match by spouting the adage, It ' s not whether you win or lose, it ' s how you play the game, it seemed to be the underlying theme to their season. Everybody knew everyone else, so we were always very support- ive of each other. Our coach (Mr. Alan Smith) was ready to help us. He was really cheerful, telling us to have fun! proclaimed Stephanie Mchorter. Have fun was exactly what the team did. Maureen Thurman shared, I played doubles once. When we were losing, we started singing Bad and we actually started winning and having fun although the other team thought we were crazy. With the spirit of fun and five wins to their credit the team reminised about the season. Some remembered One game we tried to get our assistant coach, Elliot Lee, to dress up like a girl, because we were playing against the number one team, Corona, laughed player, Stephanie McWhorter. the away game against Palm Springs at the beginning of the season because of the long bus ride. Others remembered the home match against Perris when they played in the rain. But, still the light side dominat- ed the negatives of the season. Maureen continued, My most memorable meet was at Norco, because I felt lousy after I lost my three matches. Then I found out the other team baked cookies for us and it made me happier. Even with the companionship and fun, the team didn ' t posted a winning season on the record books, but as Sophomore Brenda Lowry explained, I feel the season was good enough, because we had fun. But next year I ' m sure we ' ll be much better. AWAITING THE SMASH Sophomore Carrie Humphreys looks skyward in anticipation of the lob. A careful placed smash could win the point. ON THE RUN Summer Johnson races to meet the ball with her backhand. Summer, a junior, has been a member of the team for two years. KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL With her racket in position, Julie Rinewalt prepares to nail her oppo- nent with a forehand return. Julie, along with other team members, practice even after the season end- ed to prepare for next year
