Another surprise was defeating Tucker for the first time in the history of the school. Coach Nancy Carrig turned the girls over to Coach Fay Rawlings who is doing a fantastic job in pulling the team together. Tennis became a fall sport this year and the girls began practicing in August along with all other fall sports. Top players were Leanne Seward, Susan Erd- man, Michelle Diaz and Geor- gianne Stinnet, (co-captains), Lisa Duke, and Francis Pitts. They are basically a young team with the only returning seniors being Lori Allen and Julie Bartle. However, with determination and outstanding skills, the Lady Warriors were successful in taking the district and state titles. At state level Susan won first and second in singles, respectively and they combined their efforts to take the doubles competition. 163

164 The iar and the Restless “I've only got thirteen seniors on my squad, and thirty-five sophomores. I’m going to have to play three or four sopho- mores and they tell me an old rule of thumb is you're going to lose one game for every sopho- more.” This statement, made by Coach John Brown at the start of the 1978 season, might have seemed a bit pessimistic. This would appear especially true after an opening game win over Meadowbrook. However, the wisdom of Coach Brown shone through in the next three games as the Warriors were defeated by Lee-Davis (for sophomore Kenny Carr), Thomas Jefferson (for sophomore Kevin Sprouse), and George Wythe (for sopho- more Timmy Holmes).

King, W. Johnson, C. there was a turnabout week when players wore their jer- seys, socks, and other equip- ment inside out, ending in a vic- tory over Patrick Henry. The Warriors’ overall record (4-6) does not do the team jus- tice. Many of the losses were to superior teams by narrow mar- gins, and the season was ended on a positive note — two con- secutive wins over J. R. Tucker and Thomas Dale. Also, it must be considered that there were only three returning starters — Wilcox, Bowles, and Perkins. Though this year’s record is the first losing one in ten years, Henrico may look forward to in the coming years the young and the restless becoming the expe- rienced and the victorious. Hughes, K.
