truggles help team through the season A season record of six wins and nine losses is not often the cause for celebration. The boys ' tennis coach, however, felt that, considering the inex- perience of the first year group, his team was quite successful. Coach Steve Lake, a teacher at Sunnymead School, said that the team had a frustrating start since the players were new to the sport, but as the season went on, thin gs got better. Each individual had to learn all the fundamentals, he ex- plained. Once this was achiev- ed, the season became much less frustrating. Player Kou Her had praise for Lake ' s help with the team. One thing I haven ' t forgot- ten was that he said we should not worry about winning, Her said. We just had to work on improving for next year. The teams first win was against Cajon High School. All seemed lost until the last match was captured by a doubles team, securing a one-point win. One reason the team began its season with a lot of skep- ticism, Lake said, was because most opponents were varsity teams. With experience behind them, however, the players looked toward improving the next year. Every player on the team improved tremendously in only three months, he said. They were showing a lot of effort. Although this was Canyon Springs ' first tennis team, they showed a lot of pride, not only for Canyon Springs, but for the teams they played. BOYS ' TENNIS.

olfers work to cut down their strokes Goals for Canyon Spring ' s first golf team were both accomplished late in the season. One of my goals, Coach Craig Gesner explained, was to be close or surpass (score fewer than) 240 strokes. The seven member team scored 236 strokes when it secured the season ' s first victory against Bloomington High School. Golf team scores are determined by adding the five lowest scores from the six players on each team. When team scores are compared, the school with fewer strokes wins. Because of a lack of ex- perience among most of the players, Gesner said, the team had many losses early in the season. We were playing against more experienced teams, team member Clint Sanders said. Our toughest opponent was Elsinore, which scored 212 the first game and 202 the second. It was Gesner ' s first year coaching golf, but he had been playing for over 16 years. Team members found him very helpful, and he was well liked by those on the golf team. I really like Coach Gesner, team member Jeff Owens said, He really is a cool guy, and I look forward to next year. The team goal for the next year was to further cut down on the high number of strokes. Most team members expected to play; the team also planned to add some new players. I want to play next year, team member Rick Stuve said. I plan on practicing harder next year because I want to play again.
