Braves get new courts, end year with 6,5 slate With six of last year ' s lettermen back for another season, the tennis team posted a 6-5 slate, including a pair of 9-0 shutouts over county rival South Adams. During the conference meet at Bellmont ' s new courts located behind the school, the racketeers of Charles Swales failed to advance anyone past the first round, but the Braves turned around and placed third in a very tough sectional. Although half of the lettermen will be lost to graduation, three other lettermen, Scott Odie, Chris Marbach, and John Miller will be returning. Seniors playing their last tennis for Bellmont were Gil Hirschy, Tim Allwein, Steve Krueckeberg, and team captain Denny Jackson.
