Winners Tennis Team Wins By Achieving Goals Goals...something we all try to set for ourselves to achieve and that's just what the 1984-1985 Boys Tennis Team did. We ended the full season with an 11-7 record, which I believe was as well as we could have done since we were a pretty young team. Other teams like Anderson and Austin High have always dominated the high school tennis in the District and for Crockett to place fourth right behind them is great, said Coach Jim McHan. Senior Eddie Colfax explained, This year was different from other years in that we didn't have one dominating player, sort of the 'John McEnroe' of the team. We had four different seniors who were the number one player at one time or another on our team throughout the ear, while other teams in the District did not have this problem. Eric Carver, Quang Ngyen, Eddie Colfax, and Tim Lupton could all take the number one s ot at any time. The team faced, many hard and long obstacles before they could make their goals become reali- ty. The team basically wanted to build a broad power base without the problem of having to de- pend on a few hot dog layers. They stumbled at the begining when they lost to Johnston 3-6 and were crushed by Austin Hi h 1-8. They didn't let this get them down and they worked extra hard to bounce right back from their first two loses to defeat Lanier 7-2 and smash L.B.J. 6-3. Their most important victories included their shut-out of Travis with a perfect score of 9-O and their narrow victory over the tough-playing Westlake Chapparals 4-3. McHan said the team obtained their set goals. These goals were not out of their reach and were very achievable. We didn't pull any major surprises, but we did beat a couple of teams we idn't expect to. Next year should be a very interesting one since we have a good number of promising young players returning, added McHan. James Erben We didn't pull any major. surprises, but we did beat some teams we didn't expect to. Coach Jim Mchan. Right: Junior Lee Gwynn serves the ball during a warm-up drill during one of the team's many after school practices. It takes incredible concentration to play top notch tennis. In many com etitiue sports, the intensity of concentration and physicaf exertion is only necessary in brief spurts. Where a tennis match can sometimes last four hours, this becomes a major factor. 104lBoys Tennis 'f if 4 N02 'Q is X ' If .bQc:Qmln:i .1

eamwork Gymnasts swing into award winning seasons despite injuries and new eligibility standards There were no large crowds to see the twelve Cougar gymnasts like there were at the 1984 Olympic games in Los Angeles, only enthusiastic parents and family members. Despite the low crowd turn-outs at the meets, the Crockett gymnastics team pulled together and managed to build a 16 and 2 record for the boys and a 13 and 5 mark for the girls. Our goal for this year was just to reach a personal best,', stated coach Kathy Fears. The 1985 competitive season for the team began in late January although the team had been working out since early fall. The boys began with two wins in a dual meet against Austin and McCallum. It gave us a chance to see how much work we had to do in the next two months, said the coach. The major foes for the boys this season were Travis and L.B.J. These teams were the only full teams with experience. Crockett defeated Travis in both the op- tional and compulsory meets but lost to the Jaguars in both meets. Outstanding boys team member was all-arounder Ran- dy West. He placed first in district and in division I on pommel at the districtfregional meet in March. West also qualified for State gymnastics championship in April where he placed 5th in division I. I had hoped that he'd have qualified on other events. Randy has always been a specialist on pommel horse but I thought he had a chance in other events, said coach Fears. The horse has always been my strongest event, said West, it is a good feeling leaving high school knowing that you ac- complished your extracurricular goals as well as your academic goals. The boys team placed second in the district and third in the regional meet. Coach Fears said that she expected second in district, and had hoped that others had qualified but the scores were too high , so she wasn't surprised. There was a lot of teamwork fin our teamb that we didn't see in other schools. The girls had a more difficult time because of the diverse competition. Many of the teams the girls came up against were private club teams which puts them in a different division but location keeps them in the same district. Teams like Austin, Reagan and Lanier are all divi- sion II teams. The girls opened with a loss to Austin and a win against Mc- Callum. Even with the loss of the top two all-arounders and the injury of another at the districtfregional meet, the girls ended their season by placing fourth in district and third in region. After losing the two all-arounders, the team came closer together and picked up new events, said Fears. by Ana Maria Saldana A Girls Gymnastics Scorecard - ., Crockett-McCallum V W v-,I y I ' I 'U'- Crockett-Austin L Q 'fy Crockett-Johnston W M . groctett Iaeagan d Vit' A f .5 ,roc ett- estwoo ' w - groctett-kalgier so ' '-'ifx roc ett- n erson ' , groctett-LBJ w f X- X , f - 'lx rmc ett-Travis W X , ' gi-E Crbckett-King W , ,P A - ,' , 1, .
