L JN ali Tennis Fuzzyballers Bounce to Third Place in Big Nine The Tiger netmen posted a winning record of 7-4-1, placed third in the Big Nine, fourth in Region, thirteenth in State and lost the district title to Austin by only one point. Steve Dennis, number one man on the team, helped bolster the team's average as he was the only member to enter the state tourney. Seniors John Forshee, Bruce Peterson, and Reid Mor- tensen played the second, third and fourth positions re- spectively. The fifth spot was shared by juniors Mark Alm and Brian Nelson. The team that gave Albert Lea the roughest time was Big Nine Champion Rochester Nlayo who zipped the Ti- gers 4-O despite their best efforts. Albert Lea played Nla- son City twice, once at home and once at Mason City. The peculiar thing was that each team won at its oppo- nent's home court. The Austin game took place on a windy, dismal day which turned to rain after three singles matches had been played. Unfortunately, Albert Lea had lost those matches, and the game could not be finished so the Ti- gers lost the game. Sports - 137
