In a sport like tennis where the players are playing against one another constantly, it's hard to develop a team spirit, Coach Bob Deacon of the boys' varsity and JV tennis teams said. The spirit is basically okay. Coach Deacon cited Charlie North, Mike Henneberry and Greg Butler as outstanding players. According to Coach Deacon, North and Henneberry had a good chance at taking the State doubles championship. The team had a good turnout this year with around 20 people coming out on the first day of practice. Coach Deacon said the team experienced a good season. l'm planning on being back and trying to develop some consistency in the coaching, Coach Deacon said. l've really enjoyed it and it's been a good experience for me. 1.
