Naturally Betty Pound, the girls' coach, said their strong points were somewhat of a disadvantagef'We had some real good individual players, but, in order to have a good team, you need good team players. Also many schools have a year-round basketball program that gives the girls a chance to work on their skills,but, unfortunately, we don't. The varsity team captain was Rachel Dorame, who was a great team organizer and helped the team a great deal because she was l l able to handle the ball well. Also sophomore Lisa Howell, with he good basic skills and shooting' ability,was another asset to thi team. Next year in the nev league,despite the long trips, coacl Pound is optimistic of doing wel because Uwe will be moving into 0 league that has schooli comparable to our size. Also, an all year physical program will help.

very well. One of the high points of the season was almost beating Norco, but the team had to quit due to no lights on the courts at Colton High. All the doubles teams had won up to the second set, but they were not able to finish the match without lights. Therefore, legally, the team was not able to chalk up a win. Another high point of the season was when doubles players Joyce Hamada and Gail Huneycutt went to CIF at Hemet, but they were eliminated in the first round of the pre-lims. The end of the season offered much relief for the coach and team members. The players felt that Coach Molumphy enioyed the team, and it was a good group to get along with. The girls felt that the coach knew her tennis and helped them a great deal. Gail Huneycutt pointed out that, uWe did learn how to play tennis. She had a lot of patience with us throughout the entire season. As for the coach's attitude, it was mediocre due to the team's lack of experience and the tennis court problem. To sum up the team's season, Julie Cook has effectively emphasized that, llThey'll have a girl's tennis team next year, even with the new league and the long distance involved. Alot of people will complain if they phase outgirlsf sports. requested that no action shots be taken for the 1977 BRUIN Editor's note: Coach Molumphy Top Row: Coach Molumphy, Meri Cobb, Sharon White, Sara Cane, Joyce l'l0m0Cl0f Polly Spefllftgi Ellen l'lEf1SlGY- Gail Huneycutt, Mary lkeda.
