Coach Hopeful with Many Returning Lettermen. The 1986-87 Mens Tennis Team had an upsetting season with a record of 3 wins and 9 losses with 1 tie. Part of the reason for the un- fortunate season was that they had only one returning letterman and two seniors on the team. We had a lot of potential at the beginning of the season despite only having one returning letterman, stated Coach Ray Adrianson. The Most Valuable Player for the team was Senior Mark Owens. Owens finshed the season with 8 wins and 5 losses. Citizenship was awarded to Sophomore Ronnie Nance. Nance was also named the Most Improved Player of the 1986-87 season. This season there were several players who lettered. They were as follows: Senior Dan Cansdale, Senior Mark Owens, Junior Brian Tipmore, Sophomores Ronnie Nance, Danny Millis, and Tim Flet- cher. There was only one freshman who lettered this year; he was Chris Bailey. They should have a very suc- cessful season next year because they will have five returning letter winners to the team, said Senior Dan Cansdale. Demonstrating his backhand ability, Senior Dan Cansdale returns a volley. Row 1 — Scott Brown, Danny Millis, Tim Fletcher, David Brich.

Showing Youth and Inexperience The 1986 Women ' s Tennis team was led by Sophomore Beth Patter- son, who played number one singles and was voted Most Valuable Player. Leading the team in Citizenship was Junior Amy Allen. Coach Ray Adrianson com- mented that the team was young and inexperienced but they were in the process of building a real strong team the next two years. Beth Patterson said, I felt that winning the MVP Award was the highest point of my season. Mr. Adrianson helped me in every way and prepared me for next year, and I ' m looking forward to another win- ning season.

The only Sophomore award winner was Ran- dy Ficklin with All County and an Honorable Mention. We had an inconsistant season; we never quite reached our poten- tial, commented Coach Bob Mc- Coy. The highlight of the season was defeating Pike in the Hoosier Dome with a score of 26-13. The 1986 Junior Varsity team finished its season with a record of three wins (one by forfeit) and three losses with no ties. Attitude and intensity, which definitely were lacking at the beginning of the season, showed good improvement by the season ' s end, said Coach Gegner. 72 Football
