, n the swing of things In his third year of coaching tennis here, Mr. Burch has suc- cessfully developed what was once a young and inexperienced team into top competitors. There were five seniors on the team that added both maturity and experience. There were three returning lettermen and two transfer lettermen. Senior Mike Bennett led the team as the number one singles player. Seniors Bill Applegate and Brian Loftus carried the re- sponsibility of the number one doubles team. Seniors were not the only ones who contributed to the team. Junior Mike Dome and sophomore Paul Burns could al- ways be counted on for brilliant play. With our undefeated pre- season results, the remainder of the season looked awfully bright, summed up Rod McCart. The team has plenty of talent, it ' s just a matter of getting out there and doing the job we know we ' re all capable of doing, con- cluded Coach Burch. Varsity Sports
