24- At Its Best The Team The golf team made it farther than ever, winning the Region, winning the Conference, and placing third in the State Championship. Coach Carroll Long said, I could not be any more pleased with the way the boys played this year. The team has gained the re- spect of all other teams because of their wins and gotten an idea of how hard work and practice pays off. ' '. . :.,,--x, w Awesom Went All The Way The captain, Mike Zilliagan ex- plained, With the number one team member, Stephen Johnson, and the other team members, Mike Selvy, Erik Busby, Derek Pope, and Joey Mahaf- fey, the team was able to break the school record in score as well as wins. We all, at one time, led the team to a win with Coach Long behind us all of the way. Erik Busby Some say it's the hardest part of the game , . .

The team stampeded the beginning with four straight wins. However, they went on the same losing streak for four games, but bounced back to a winning season. Highlighting the season was Mike Mihelick's match against Tim Hagood - top-ranked singles player in the state from Pickens High School. Mihelick took Hagood to a final set, but lost four 96 Boys' Tennis games to six. Mihelick received the 1985 Coach's Leadership Award. Another outstanding player on the team was David Berggren. David said, The team got along well together and always won as a team. David received the 1985 M.V.P. Tennis Award. The team had a very successful year although the 8-6 record did not show it. We learned a lot and gained respect from other teams, said Jimmy Burns as he ended the year ready to come back in 1986. Erik Busby Make my day ,. .
