200 tennis Working hard and practicing together combine to make a success. At least, that's what the tennis team believes. With a fairly new team and a new coach, the team had to practice twice as hard. Doing drills, practicing and running was part of their everyday routine. Girls' captain Rhonda Fudge and co-captain Ruby Palacios helped the girls in their daily drills, while boys' captain Jerry Pena and co-captain Randy Clark would help the guys. The year's outcome wasn't as good as it could have been. But considering it to be a fairly new team, it wasn't so bad. This year's Outstanding Player award went to jun- ior Ruby Palacios and senior Foy Bludworth. X 1315? gage, if its K. if 44.
