They won Kingco, District, Regionals, and State. The first lVI.I. Team ever to accomplish all of those titles. The Islanders finally shrugged off their reputed inability to win the big one. The Mercer Island jinx was never to be brought up again. The greatest factor in the state success was the fan support. While the fans' only problem is that they stand up too much, it is proof of superb support. just another reason for one to be proud to be an Islander. B' I.. . i K . IN 6f ' MQW UI , 5 l R i 4

The sophomores sported a returning champ Matt Zisette. Scott Beers and Chris Roa rallied for the junior class, and the seniors had three returning letter- men who helped the team immensly. These were Brad Craig, Gardner Morelli and Marc Jarvis. jack Dills, not to let him get by without notice, had some extra help from the Girls, coach Geoff Mills. Coach Mills gave pointers and coached the JV. When aslced about Coach Dills, senior letterman Gardner Morelli exclaimed, He's the greatest, we couldn't have done it without him. Chris Roe smashes it to the opponent Boys' Tennis 191
