Teams net winning year Tennis, always popular at C.H.S., reflected the national vogue which this sport is currently enjoying. With the closing of the season, the girls’ tennis team felt content with their second place holding in Western Mass. New courts behind C.H.S. were made available to them, which added to the strength of their team. The girls were led by coach Kathy Mentor, and all commented that this year’s season was a great improvement from the one before. A successful season was the outcome of the spirit that the girls had. Martha Barry’s powerful forehands, backhands, and determination earned her the MVP award. Lisa Shea netted herself the title of Most Improved Player. Jo Byrnes and Judy Kelliher gained recognition as rookies of the year. Teamwork and comradeship among members of the team extended the boys’ tennis team’s winning streak for another year. With the victories of junior wonder Timmy Mayotte and other contributing members of the team, they had a nearly perfect season. Mayotte swung his way to being individual Western Mass champ and runner-up in the state’s final. The team’s one loss, to Longmeadow, was redeemed easily a few weeks later. In Western Mass play first-seeded Cathedral, co-captain Matt Modlish, Bob Chandler, and the first doubles team of Bill Mayotte and Ned Callaghan won over second-seeded Longmeadow with pride and great pleasure. Later, in the state championship semi-finals Cathedral dropped a loss to Weston, 4—1. When the season was concluded, a Satisfied captain Bill Mayotte stated, ‘‘The team was pretty pleased with themselves, and everyone improved tremendously to a super end.” 76 4y | sont staciinemienietAein, MartoesetCttee nine mmimmmaninn.
