Spring Sports Excel Through Determination vn| Though he only received hi?- first letter this year, junior Arthur Stowe shows off what made him Regional Champ as well as Most Valuable player. I hough he ivas the youngest player on the tennis team. Hodlcn Spaht proved he could compete with anyone. Holden was ranked in his age. strong players so the team was able to keep its depth. The boys ladder only had two returning lettermen but most of the key spots were replaced with state-ranked players. The boys ladder turned out to be very competitive and also filled in with a lot of depth. Picture this, laughed Coach Richards, we had sisters: Liz and Jenny Lank; brothers: Tat-Chi and Tat-Shing Lam; brother and sister: Arthur and Ashley Stowe; boyfriend and girlfriend Arthur Stowe and Stephanie Harrop. What I thought was going to be a season of Family Feuds turned out to be Family Affairs. The teams went 9-0 in the B.R. Prep League, only losing two matches out of ten at any time. At Regionals the Boys Team came in first, tied with Newman, and the Girls Team finished first. They qualified eight out of ten players. At the State Tournament, the girls did such an outstanding job by all advancing to the semi-finals that they were virtually unbeatable for the State Title. The Most Valuable female player was a tie between Ashley Stowe and Susan DeFelice. Ashley was Single's State Champion, receiving her third letter this year. Susan got her fifth letter this year. The Most Valuable male player award went to Arthur Stowe. He was the Boys Regional Champion, receiving his first letter this year. Sophomore Chuck Daigle completes the 4lh leg of his 100 yard Butterfly race at the State Swim meet. Chuck finished with a time of 12.0 seconds. The 1987 Swim Season consisted of five meets, spread out from February through April. The highlights of the season came from some outstanding individual performances from the girls in the City Meet and from both the Boys and Girls Teams in the State Meet, said Coach LeBlanc. In the City Meet, Julia Robertson was the Baton Rouge City Champion in the 200-yard Individual Medley. Her time of 2:26 gave her first place over some outstanding competition. Julia was runner-up in the 100-yard Freestyle with a time of 1:01. Karyn Story was just as spec- tacular, finishing with two runners-up medals. Karyn had a time of 25:6, which was good enough for second place in the 50-yard Freestyle, while her time of 1:03 gave her a second place in the 100-yard Butterfly. As with many of our spring sports, said LcB-lanc, there were many conflicts on the weekends of the meets. Still, there are a few very dedicated swimmers who gave their time this season. The Most Valuable female swimmer was a tie between Julia Robertson and Karyn Story. These two girls scored 56 points at the State meet, which gave the Knights a tenth place finish for the Girls' Team. The Most Valuable male swimmer was Paul Daigle. He had a time of 51:31 in the 100-yard Feestyle which gave him fifth place in State. He scored 27 of the 28 points at the State Meet. The excitement at the beginning of the season was high and continued throughout because we have a good Tennis Team, said Coach Marcia Richards. It's a strong team and will continue to be strong for a number of years to come. The Girls Team was defending State Champs and a few key spots from the loss of last year's seniors were filled with
