With five returning lettermen and the good freshmen we ' ve had this year, we ' re looking for an improved season next year, stated Coach Ray Adrianson. We had our ups and downs, but on the whole we played as a team. I am looking forward to my senior year playing for Coach Adrianson, commented junior Ronnie Nance. The tennis team is also looking forward to expanded facilities; ten new tennis courts to be built beside the football field will replace the four old ones. Although our team finished 5-1 1, we still proved capable of playing against the better competition during the later part of the season and, with expanded fa- cilities the team should prove even better with five returning lettermen, said Brian Tipmore.
