A A Netters teed off Practice facilities top improvement list The long awaited tennis courts and junior high tennis programs are two main things coach Miss Audrey Mosely still awaits. During the flood last fall the tennis courts were severely damaged. This caused several cancellations and halted a lot of outdoor workouts that were desperately needed. Hopefully, one day we will also have a junior high program to give our kids a knowledge of the fundamentals of tennis. We are going to have to have such a pro- gram if we are ever to come up to the level of play our district demands, Miss Mosely commented. Seniors Julie Pickett and Joe Lineros were the team stand-outs. Julie placed second in the girls' division singles in two of six tour- naments this year. She was also voted most outstanding girls' ten- nis player by district coaches. Joe won second in the Tarrant County Junior College Tourna- ment and was fifth in boys' singles during district competition. TENNIS AND GOLF With the thrill of victory that so many athletic teams crave during competition, the golf team had to settle with the thrill of competi- tion. But despite all they con- tinued the season and entered several tournaments. They travel- ed to Plano, Denton, and Cheryl Park. The district meet was in Denton, and the team placed last. To sum up the year, junior Bret Comstock, one of the leaders on the team, stated that the year was Fair . . . it was a better year for me improvement wise. I enjoyed going to all the meets and having access to Diamond Oaks Country Clubf' The team had practices on the course Tuesdays and Fridays. According to Mr. Pipes there are several areas of im- provements that need to be con- sidered in order to have a suc- cessfully competitive team. Junior high school programs, a practicing area here at the school, and individual golf classes or a class that teaches the fundamen- tals of golf are a few on the listl ,,,..,...s.. . - Q At the district meet sopl- Dennis Piekarski follows t on the fairway.
