DEVOTION This years team was built with a majority of young players. Next year ' s team will have an advantage, said coach Lucille Scoggins. Getting Into The Swing Of Things V The girls and boys tennis team smash- ed into their spring round-robin matches. The boys ployed very well in their mat- ches, defeating a few teams they have never defeated before said Coach Joel Foster. He feels that the boys hove a good chance. With o good attitude I feel there is nothing the boys can ' t ac- complish. Although the girls team is made mostly of young, unexperienced players, we did the best we could with the amount of time we had to work with. In the end, we had a great season said Lou Cille Scoggins. The top players for the boy ' s team are Tommy Jonik and Tom- my Mancuso. For the girls ream, the top players are Erin Shumer and Alisa Guer- rant. The most improved players for the girls and boys ream are Jason Ewell and f c - Connie Hebert. The outlook for the teams in general during their spring season is SENSATIONAL! Connie ployed some vorsiry and mostly junior varsity singles. Junior Jason Ewell has also been a member of the varsity team for three years. If they put their minds to it, they should win every match, said coach Joel Foster about the boys tennis team. The Gators participated in the Galveston Invitational Tournament, Baytown Lee Invitational, LaPorte Tour- nament, varsity district tournament in Clear Lake, and the freshman and junior varsity tournament in Galveston.
