by Dana Budd photos by David Azlin l lndefeated! l l A record of 'l 5-D this year and 'l 5-C last year says it all. Team members pulled together to make this the second undefeated season in two years. Debbie Rule, who has been the CCC singles champion for three years, along with Seth Conmy, Emily Nelson, and Tracy Ventur- ini, all had an undefeated season. Emily Nelson and Tracy Venturini were runners up in the doubles and in the sections they made it to the semi finals. The team became Section Team runner up when they beat Fairfield S-'l , and St. lVlary's of Stockton SVQ-EVQ, and then they lost to a Davis team with a final score of S-D. The 'l C young ladies have a special way of determining the top seven players. They hold matches among themselves. The top S players play singles and the other 4 players split up for doubles. These matches occur all through the season. When the season is over, most of the girls still keep their practice time in by going to clubs and or taking lessons to improve their skill. Unlike other sports, Tennis requires year round practice. Coach Nleinhardt, who has been coaching for three years, said, I am proud to have been associated with these ladies. Congratulations to all the players and to the coach for a fantastic job. Two girls were ranked in the Northern California Tournament. Debbie Flule was ranked 'l 2th in the girls 'I S and under while Seth Conmy was ranked 45th in the girls 'l S and under in Northern California. Satelite Tournaments are scheduled for all players that want to duali- fy for these Championship Tournaments. Near SDD players total in all age brackets enter these Northern California competitions. The team has been the Conference Cham- pions for the last two years. Dver the last three years the team has gone 413 and 2. W 'l. Audra going for the ball, 2. Seth in serving position: 13.

O I-Jacilioa-ation. . . To. . . Championship: The screams of excitement are heard throughout the gym. The crowd chants Beyer, Geyer . . .! The clock reads EE seconds left to play in the last quarter of the final game of the season, and homecoming. Senior guard Todd Fiaffanti steps to the free-throw line. l-le had two shots to make in order to end his high school basketball career on an upnote. The ball snaps in the air, it's in! VVe want another one, yells the crowd as the ball falls through the hoop increasing the home score to E1 -59, breaking a tie. The ball goes back into play, senior lvlahinder Singh rebounds the ball from Atwater, and hands it off to Todd Plaffanti who in return passes to senior teammate Greg VVashler. Washler goes for his final score of the season. The clock ticks on 'i 'l, 'I C, 9, he scores! Boosting the lead a final time to 613-59. with B seconds left to play. Atwater scores at the buzzer, but that doesn't matter, for the victorious Patriots had prevailed. This exciting yet tense atmosphere was apparent at all games played. The season started on an upbeat with a victory over Franklin with a score of 77- G1 . Through much dedication not only from the coaches, but from the team, they made a name for themselves. They took fourth in C. C. C. ECentraI California Confer- encel, but became lvlodesto City Champions! The first time in years. In many ways all the guys were eoual, however, some had specialities that stood out from the others. Leading scorer was Greg VVashler with GEC points, becoming sixth best scorer in Geyer history.
