Oliver Greve The J.V. tennis team started off its season with a fourteen man roster. Coach Rice held practice from 2:30 until 4:30 every day, un- less they had a match. During practice Coach Rice had the team work on different strokes, such as backhand, forehand, and volleys. In addition to working on different strokes, the team worked on serves and new strategies. The lack of experience on the J.V. team was their main weak point, but their enthusi- asm and determination was a strong point. The top two singles on the team were Hec- tor Ayon and Jeff Beatty, both sophomores. The team ' s number one doubles were Alex Somoza and Luis Alva, also sophomores. Throughout the season the toughest oppo- nent the Vikings faced was Edgewood. When asking Coach Rice what he had hoped the team would accomplish this season, his reply was to be as successful as possible in league while trying to improve on their individual abilities and skills.
