Serve Is With A Smile Lose? It’s not a word in the tennis teanrTs vocabulary. For the past four years, Magnet has reigned supreme as the team to beat. With past players and this year ' s State AAAA champs. Chris- tian Valulius and Kathryn Sales, Magnet has had no trouble in eliminating ali comers who challenge the crown of best in the state. This year’s team played in AAAA district competition because of the school’s recent growth in population. While it did mean tougher matches for those who played, team member Danny Berg says, “Moving to 4-A just meant that we were finally playing the caliber of team that we deserved to be playing.” Moving to AAAA included meeting such teams such as Captain Shreve and Loy- ola, two of the top teams in the City. For the third year in a row, under Valer- ie Monday’s watchful eye, the team was able to win the Girl’s Singles, Boy’s Sin- gles, and Mixed Doubles. Winning Mixed Doubles this year were Julie Hambrick and Eric Patrick. Valerie Monday, who was herself a state Champion, feels that the success of the team was to be expected. DO THE MIRACLE LUNGE.
