Camelback High School - Shield Yearbook (Phoenix, AZ)

Page 207 text:

THIS YEAR'S GOLF TEAM consisted of boys who for three years had played together. Because of their association, Coach Peter Frajola feels that this year the team should make its best showing. The team is primarily made up of seniors. THE SEASON OPENED fast on a schedule of T3 matches including the Biltmore Invitational May 4, and the State Tournament in Tucson May lO-ll. Wicken- burg was the first team faced, and with devastating mid-season form, the Spartan squad crushed the Wranglers T5-O. Phoenix Union fell next to the ram- paging golfers 1215-215. After two quick wins, Cam- elback's hopes soared as to the extent of the success of the season. Then a loss to Scottsdale 8-7, befell the Spartan crew. Mesa, one of the best teams in the state, unleashed a terrible fury and mashed the hapless Helot crew l3-2 at Mesa two days later. North, like- wise on the same par with the Jackrabbits of Mesa, sent the Camelback squad down to defeat l3lQ-l MJ. THE GOLFERS ROMPED on through their season unreported-on due to the Shield's deadline. At that point in the season, a 2-3 record had been compiled. Coach Fraiola said, We can play anyone but Mesa and North, and usually beat them. But those two, we can't ever knock off. THE SEASON SHOWED great potentiality for the Spartan golfers, and the team proved a credit to the school. Camelback hails the lads who represent the Blue-and-Orange on the fairways. Good Luck Next Season! Left to right: Coach Peter Fraiola, Bill Schmuhl, Jerry Schmuhl, Tom Risk, Bob Teller Clayton Boyer, Dave Hartter, Corky Stahlberg, Paul Spence. GOLF TEAM 163 -

CAMELBACK'S TENNIS TEAM, which began its initial season this year, competed on a Junior Varsity level against some of the finest J. V. teams in the valley. Coach Hansen scheduled I2 matches for the boys during the season, but at press time for the Shield, only six matches had been run off. The half-season mark showed a 3-3 record for the first-year Spartans. Among the teams to fall to the Helot group were Sunnyslope, Phoenix Union, and South Mountain. COACH CHRIS HANSEN feels that the season has so far been very satis- factory considering that it was the boys' first year of competition. Bob Bramlet and Gordon Genoe were pointed out by their coach as the outstanding players on the Spartan court. OF THE TEAMS to defeat Camelback, only Mesa shut them out. West Phoenix took two victories from the Spartan crew also. Sunnyslope and South were whipped badly by the Camelback lads, but Phoenix Union put up quite a battle before succumbing 4-3. THE SPARTAN RACQUET squad played its matches this season with little support from its student body. These contests could be witnessed behind the gym on the tennis courts during the afternoon. Coach Hansen hopes to draw more spectator appeal by uping Camelback to a varsity rating next year. THE SPARTAN TEAM, save one senior, will all be returning to the line-up next season. Because of this fact, hopes and expectations for the coming years are high. The team is young and willing. Their coaching is excellent, their talent is capable. Tennis will soon bring fame and recognition to Camelback as it has thus far demonstrated through potentiality. Good luck next season! -162- TENNIS TEAM AT PRESS TIME SCORES We They 2 West 5 5 Sunnyslope 2 I West 6 0 Mesa 7 4 Phoenix Union 3 5 South 2
