With the emphasis shift- ed away from the stressful league play, it left more time and practice for tournaments. That's what we are gearing for, the tourna- ments.

ARIED FORECASTS are expressed by the Badminton team after a baffling season opening filled with both hopefu and discouraging scrimmages We ure u young team with few seniors so in the future we should be on top, but I'm not u fortune teller, . said Badminton team member Mark Morgan after the team's second scrimmage with Casa Roble. Psychic intuition would have certainly helped the Badminton team make heads or tails out of a seemingly contradictory season opening. Encour- aging results in a scrim- mage with Casa Roble and two defeats in scrim- mage games against El Camino caused much confusion about the Bad- minton team's future. The baffling beginning was responsible for the wide range of early spec- 236 ulation. Pessimistic fore- casts were offset by the more hopeful and moder- ate elements of the team. I think our Badminton team will always beat San juan, Bella Vista, and Casa Roble, but we will be creamed by Nevada Union and Roseville, pro- phesized girls' doubles player Terasue Arino. Leading the wave of optimism was Coach Bill Kimball. I predict that the team will have a win- ning season and hopeful- ly beat Roseville which has dominated for the past three or four years, said Kimball. While the Badminton team had difficulty with backhands and serves, they excelled in the spik- ing and rallying. Volley- ing seems to be our strongest suit and we will continue to drill in the returns, said Coach Kimball. With many of the basics conquered, Badminton team members frequent- ly expressed a desire to challenge the complexi- lies of the game. The team needs to learn shots that will catch the other players off guard, not just returns, said girls' team member Lori Clark. From the begirming there was a noticeable dis- crepency between the boys' and girls' singles and doubles teams. The incongruity most likely stemmed from a differ- ence in age and experi- ence. While the majority of the boys were upper- classmen and veterans from the previous year, many of the girls were incoming freshmen. We would give the boys a good match, but their serving and returns are more powerful. They are better because they are more agressive, said Iill Davidson.
