At that time, they choose partners and begin to hit flat balls which the coach has retained from the beginning of the '68 season. Yes, they are still here. Even though the team did not reach Varsity Football status with the fans, the l985 Girls Tennis team had the same record: undefeated. With Kristin Hudson as their team captain, the ninety-two players of,Ml swept the KingCo League with flying colors. Mr. Jack Dills, the Boys Tennis coach, even had to come and help Mr. Mills because of the size of the squad.

But, what can one expect from a team that has not lost in a year? To them, each match must be like a game o tiddly-winks! The team, however, deserves abundant praise for its efforts.
