Boys NET CONFERENCE Thind The 1980 Brookfield Central Boys' Tennis Team continued its winning ways under sec- ond year Coach Steve Floecker. The Lancers were 44-19 in Braveland Conference play, including crushing 7-0 wins over Hamilton, Brown Deer, Port Washington, and Cedar- burg. With a strong contingent of returning lettermen, powered by Senior Captain- M.V.P. Bill Kirsch and sophomore Timon Corwin, the netters netted third in the Brave- land Conference behind State Champion Brookfield East and second-ranked Nicolet. Because the season started before the winter snows had melted and because of a lack of indoor facilities, practice began in the dark, narrow, and chalk-filled gymnastics balcony. Senior netter Russ French states, lt is really too bad that we can't use the gymnasium, but there are too many other teams that need it, and we are on the bottom ofthe list. After the squad started outdoor practice Coach Ftoecker set the lineup of players who would prove to be the mainstays of the team. Playing singles were Senior Bill Kirsch, Jun- iors Chris Meyer and Bill Webster and Soph- omore Timon Corwin, while Juniors Roy Mills and Carl Breed played first doubles and Sophomores Mike Rytel and Steve Godfrey played in the second doubles position. At the Brook-Tosa Quadrangular, one of the most important meets in the state, the Lancers took fourth place. l felt we gave it a very strong try, remarked Coach Roecker, We lost matches at first doubles and sixth singles that could easily have gone our way, but the caliber of the competition was con- siderablef' In a sectional that included four of the top eight teams in the state, sophomore Timon Corwin advanced to the state tournament. lf the Lancers could play out of south-eastern Wisconsin, a hotbed for high school tennis stars, they could possibly qualify the entire team for the state tournament.

Rivinc, To A Confenenice Second Under the direction of Coach Paul Nauman, the 1980 Brookfield Central Boys' Golf Team put forth a unified effort. We weren't competing against each other but competing as a team, comments senior Geoff Gabriel. Since last year, the team increased its membership from eleven players to twenty-seven. A prime reason for this is increased interest from a diverse group of students. Due to the increased turnout, the number of JV Team members was expanded. Returning senior Ietterman Dave Prokupek thinks lt's great that the sport of golf has become so popular in the last few years. Young golfers should be able to contribute for future victories for the team. The team experienced an unfortunately slow season. A particularly disappointing loss was the Spring Green Invite. The team spent the night and had an exciting time, but suffered a spirit-dragging 23rd of 25 teams at the meet. Team captain and MVP Bob Korslin feels, Our team was beginning to get together near the end of the season. Because of new team members, it was difficult to pull together a strong, solid team. Bob led the team with a 42.36 average. Close behind was senior Tony Contresceri, with a 42.65, and senior Geoff Gabriel, with a 42.92 average. Geoff also scored the most birdies of any member of the team. Although senior Gary Kirst was an average golfer at the beginning of the season, he really came through at the end with a spectacular performance. The 1980 Lancer Golf Team finished second of ten teams in the Braveland Conference Tournament. The only team to beat them was Nicolet, the team that eventually captured first at the State Tournament. All in all, it was not a bad finish, but the team had expected to do better, judging by their performance at meets. Fine individual efforts put forth by Bob Korslin, Dave Prokupek, Geoff Gabriel, Tony Contresceri, and Gary Kirst brought the team through some tough competition. A hard meet schedule, often three a week, gave the team no respite. A particularly satisfying win was the first of the season at Westmoor C.C., where the Lancer golfers triumphed over rival Brookfield East. The only injury of the season occurred about two-thirds through at the Waukesha Invitational. A ball hit by Bob Korslin rebounded off a tree and hit Dave Prokupek's hand, breaking it. Dave was unable to compete in any further meets. Ending the year on a high note, however, was senior Gary Kirst, who eagled the par five sixth hole at the WIAA Regional Tournament. 38 f Boys' Golf M-ai .ytav-00 b L
