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.
