by Jeff Vamos Kate Helm (Zatt eience 7itte Tennis team ties in conference, volleyballers lose sectional bid ror Coach Russ Busse and his tennis team it was a year of firsts. The early season defeat of South Bend Riley sent the tennis team on their way to unquestionably, the best season in Central’s eight year tennis history. “Riley definitely gave us a lift in terms of confidence and attitude, Busse conceded. Another first achieved by the tennis team was their defeat of Memorial. Although Memorial overcame Central in a regular season matchup, Central gained vengeance with their win during sectional play. Also, for the first year, Busse’s Racquetmen were dominant in the N.I.C. The team shared conference glory with South Bend Riley. Central, with aspirations to set another first—a sectional crown—blazed past preliminary and semi- final rounds on their way toward a final confrontation. But, a sectional crown was not to be; Central’s hopes were thwarted by a talented Concord team. One plus one equals one if you’re referring to the '78 girls’ Volleyball team. A group of athletes that were somewhat split in practice fused together on the court to compile one of the best season records in recent years. Competing in a touch N.I.C. conference was no easy task. Nevertheless, the Blazers didn’t give up. Once again they reigned as city campions by defeating Memorial 2-0. The girls reached their peak of the season during the Concord Invitational when they gave state champion S.B. Adams a run for their money before falling to them in a close three game match. They went on into te consolation match to defeat Memorial again. Hoping for a chance at the sectional crown, the spikers were soon disappointed when they lost to Jimtown in the first round of competition.
