'vs Gaining Fame Tennis took on a whole new look with the creation of a Frontenis team in addition to the regular tennis teams. The four tennis players that comprised the new team be- came the first and only junior Frontenis team in the United States. As the national team, ju- niors Brad Blazoff, Ashley Smith, Evan Smith, and Dan- iel Van Overschelde compet- ed at a professional tourna- ment in Acapulco to gain ex- perience for their trip to France in September when they will represent the U.S. in the world championship con- test. lt took a while to get used to Frontenis because the ball is unpredictable, but then I really began to enjoy it, said Daniel. We hope to get at least the silver medal in the world championship. Girlsl tennis claimed fame also as they captured first place in district. Junior Si- mone Claus placed first in dis- trict singles and advanced to regionals, then lost in the first round at state. The boys' team made took third place in district with Daniel Van Overschelde plac- ing second in singles.
