The team, stated Tovrea, is much stronger this year. The girls have great depth and since there is no weak link there is great competition. The girls practiced everyday after school for two hours.

While at a match, the top six players played varsity and the next five, junior varsity. The girls played singles and doubles, all of which were held after school. Most of the girls also practiced on weekends, with each other or alone. Challenge matches were also held on' Saturdays. Tennis was a good individual sport but a team effort was needed by each and every girl. Before their matches the girls got together and did some cheers to get them excited and play a good game. After matches they did more cheers for congratulations and to boost morale. junior Sandee Thurston had been on the tennis team for two years. Last year she earned the position of fourth varsity. Sandee said that she joined tennis because she loved to play and wanted the competition. She also enjoyed the many friendships she had acquired through the team. Everyone gets along so well, Thurston commented. When one of us loses, we always get advice for our game and comforting for our spirits. Sandee hoped to go on to play tennis at the U of A after high school. They're a great group of girls. I enjoy working with them and just being with them, concluded Mrs. Tovrea. 2 Design: Cheryl Weir Copy: Donna Baceski Photes: Cindy Niclcol, Tom Richard, Doug Bond
