GIIIIIS The girls' varsity tennis team finished the season with an overall record of 26-3. This was the team's fifth consecutive year of being league champions.

The Brahmas had to practice hard to live up to their potential. They practiced six days a week for three hours a day. The girls also came for eight weeks during the summer for two hours a day. They were condi- tioned by running up and down stairs, hitting tennis balls, using the ball machine, doing a lot of drills, Teamwork was f th thi one o e ngs that contributed to our success had a lot of it and lt paid off because we were undefeated ln league Rachel Hams Varsity Tennis Diamond Bar Diamond Bar Diamond Bar Dlamond Bar Diamond Bar Diamond Bar Diamond Bar Nogales Rowland Los Altos Nogales Charter Oak Rowland Los Altos ces Sierra and of course, playing practice games.
