Girls’ Tennis The Girls’ Varsity Tennis Team proved that goals could be ac- complished with fun and hard work. Although the team had a slow start, the team struggled and had a terrific comeback ending. With the team reaching the State Tournament for the fifth year in a row, the members were led by C.C.C. East All-league players Kathy Hoinoski, Heather McCain, and Katie LeBlanc. The tennis team’s overall record was 8-7 and finished with a league record of 4-3. With sophomore Katie LeBlanc voted M.V.P. Ten- nis Player for 1986, the tennis team secured a promising future. 1.

TERNI iCRHi; jEERNI, EtRNF- SZRHI Baseball! America’s favorite pastime! Fans turned out to watch the varsity baseball team play, and, although the club’s record was 5-14, they were not disap- pointed.
