M A g iffwww ssc The 1983 Tennis Team finished 4-4 in the Catholic League and 4-9 overall. Amel Mariano, the M.V.P., provided strength and support for the other players. Russell Mariano, who had the best record on the team C6-61, and other strong Sophomores provided depth for the Varsity team. The depth of the 1983 team enabled it to finish fourth out of eighteen other schools This was the team's best showing in the State Districts in five years. Coach Drask believed that the improved showing was due to the continuous effort and en- thusiasm displayed by the team. They hac worked hard in the weight room and on thc courts, and for the first time, it paid off.

Before entering post-season play, the team finished its official season with a winning record of 8-2. At the Chicago Catholic League Cham- pionship on Sept. 30, the Viking golfers fought long and hard, and took second place with a record-breaking score of 298, only 6 strokes behind first place Loyola. Special mention and a congratulations go to senior Ed Labuda. Ed turned in a score of 71, the third best score ever attained by a Catholic League golfer, thus making him the first St. Laurence golfer to be recognized as a league medalist. On Oct. 7, the IHSA Regionals took place on Cog Hill 1641. Here the Vikings took second place with a score of 314. One of the most ex- citing events in the season was the IHSA Sec- tionals on Oct. 12 at Deer Creek. Here the Viking golfers took first place with a score of 331. Finally, at the IHSA State Competition on Oct. 14-15, the Vikings took a respectable 14th place with a score of 653. Special honors go to Marc Caifano, who took 3rd in Regionals, and Fred Formas who finished 6th in the Regionals and was Sectional champion. The Frosh-Soph. team had a good season with a record of 2-5. At the Catholic League Championship the team took fifth, and all members look forward to next year. Golff 163
