Girls Tennis Teams at DMHS have set record after record over the years, but 1983 topped it all offzthe netters were never scored against in White Pine dual meets during the entire season. At the White Pine Conference Meet Mac- Arthur won every event-once again,their opponents were unable to score a single point. They also set a new consecutive wins record for White Pine,when the girls brought the record up to a remarkable 27 consecutive wins in one season. The team ended up with an 8-0 record in the Conference and an 11-0 record for all dual meets. For the third year in a row the girls won the Regional Championship, by winning every seed but one- 4 singles. They also ended up with a 5'th place finish in the State Meet which topped off another sensation- al season. Two team members achieved election to the All-State Team: Amy Lichon and Shireen Akhtar. DMH dominated selections for the All- Conference Team with Amy Lichon, Shireen Akhtar, Pam Gomez, Beth Pruitt, and Kerry Muehlenbeck being chosen.

Coach Mel Skillman summed up the season, The 1983 version of the Big Mac Attack was not as successful in the won-lost columns as some teams of the past but con- sidering our level of competition it was understandable. Four of our losses were to teams that were 7-2, one was to an 8-1 opponent, and the other to 6-3 Eisenhower, who defeated Tri Valley Champion Garber 17-0. Even though we were fairly small in size and number our desire was always at a high level. This team played to its potential. All Stater Matt Call was our team M.V.P. and leader. Matt, Mike McTaggart, George Bruske, and Chris Buckley were All Conference selections. lUpper Leftl Front Row: R. Giltrop, D. Herzog, P. Vescio, E. Gonzales. 2nd Row:G. Weber, S. Stewart, I. Fry, M.
