Tennis players get involved in community Tennis not only consisted of practice but was also made up of fun and community m- volvcment. The tennis team sponsored a faculty chal- lenge, a SODA tennis match, and a family participation day in addition to its regular tournaments. Besides having fun, it gave us a chance to get better acquainted with the teach- ers, junior Jennifer Johnson said. A SODA club event held after school was organized by Dorothy Selfridge and tennis coach Helen Johnson. It was amusing just out there playing. Coach Carpen- ter hit me with the ball, freshman Lx)raine Salas said. Tennis members practiced all year round. During fall tennis, matches and tourna- ments were won through team effort. Sprmg tennis consisted of individual matches during which mem- bers concentrated on their own style and form. I prefer spring tennis for two reasons. In individual tennis I can advance at my own pace, and I also prefer the nice warm weather, sophomore Marisa Foradori said. Besides after school prac- tice from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., tennis members strived to improve their skills with oth- er exercises. The drills that Coach Johnson taught us have really helped us as far as concen- tration and watching the ball. Our skills have really im- proved, senior Shane Tur- ner said.
