Members of the JV and Varsity Girls’ Tennis Teams had to keep up the but strove to set a new WINNING TRADITION championship standard for others to follow. With two years of J.V. go- ing undefeated and Varsity losing only one match, the girls' tennis teams had a tough act to follow. Keeping the winning tradition alive was challenging but well planned. The planning began with the J.V. team. Coach Ad- ams took pride in the team, working the players extra hard in order to make for a stronger varsity. Adams also encouraged split practices.

This gave all the members the opportunity to play and im- prove their game. The majority of the top ranked players were under- classmen who were groomed as J.V. players to lead the team to another city championship. This win would make it three con- secutive years for varsity, an accomplishment not yet achieved by any other Mesa school. To the members of the girls' tennis teams, keeping the tradition of winning wasn't the question. They wanted to go beyond these traditions with their goals of remaining undefeated and clinching their season with a State Championship title. Design by Kathy Pollard. Me- lissa Celaya.
