Rockets win opener with little experience Starting the 1975 spring season on a good note, the Broad Ripple tennis team defeated Wood by a margin of 3-2. However, a lack of experienced returning players led to a disappointing season record for the Rockets. Basically they ' re average play- ers competing against pretty out- standing competition, commented Coach William Sirka. In the latter part of the season, the team was shut out three consecutive matches. The team, with a record of 3-5-1, was led by junior Ned Keefe with an individual record of 6-4. Ned was undefeated in his first six matches. Those who received let- ters were Keefe, Brandon Sommers, Bobby Spudic, Kraig Parson, Doug Wieneke, and Richard Marks. HIT IT IN ...
