Tennis Game, Set, Match The aspiration to achieve their goals was very helpful to the success of the girls’ tennis team this season. One of their highest goals was to qualify as many play- ers as possible to compete in divisionals and state tournaments. Against their opponents, the players used strength and determination as part of their defense. Healthy attitudes com- bined with support for each of the team- mates were essential points also stressed by Coach Adams. Individual abilities increased as did stamina and discipline which helped them throughout the season. Consistent prac- tice and new techniques contributed to the team's success.
