Cougars get net results The amount of skill it takes to be a successful tennis player is tremendous. Although skill is a great factor other elements in creating a competitive team is self- control and discipline. The boys' Varsity and JV teams illustrated all of these. Coach George Yuhas had a young, but dedicated group of men to work with. The team worked out during and beyond sixth period to get the results it was after. Besides countless drills and conditioning sessions, some members also took private lessons to get to the peak of their ability. S.

' Boys Swim Team works hard to meet their goal The boys have a shot at being number one again this year but will face tough competition from Ampi and Catalina, said Coach Greg Farmer early in the year. To improve their chances for this goal, the swimmers practiced for an hour to an hour and a half in the morning and two and a half hours in the afternoon. In addition, they practiced with weights three times a week. Some of the most promising swimmers were john Mitchell, Derrick Sinclair, Darryl Eckes, Doug Janes, and Joe Barr. However, the team did not have as much depth as last year, according to Coach Farmer. Diving is a difficult skill to learn. Grace and coordination are essential to this type of event. Four divers returned from last years boys squad including Bart I-lust, Larry Burns, Carmine Tilghman and Todd Mendoza. Coach Farmer said Mike French also showed a lot of promise. For the girls, Tanya Zucha was the best prospect. The season started March 6 against a tough foe: Catalina. C -, The swimmers were on their way to another great season. 92 SPORTS M.
