Marana Netters Gain Confidence, Momentum Success for the girls' tennis team came as the girls built up strength and endurance in pre-season weightlift- ing. Although bad weather cancelled many practices, the girls kept their confidence high and made the most of the time they had. The team consisted of six varsity and five JV players. Limited court space at Marana and smaller teams at other schools were reasons for the small team. Coach Kim Holaway predicted a third or fourth place season finish. l.
