's ,gb 0 Best Season Ever The Gateway Tennis Team finished the i983 season with a record of 6-4. Ron Salazar, in his fourth year as head coach went from a Oll record in l98O to the best record in school history. The team started the season by get- ting five early victories, three of which were over such league powers as Littleton, Mullen and Heritage. The first defeat came by a 2-5 loss at the hands of the Overland Trailblazers. But two weeks later the Olys came back to win the first annual Aurora City Championships edging the Trail- blazers 53-50 in total points. The Olys placed all but one person in the finals of the tournament. The ever consis- tant doubles winning three out of four matches. The second half of the sea- son only provided problems for the Matt Mantey and fourth place by third singles Brian Wilson. Even though the team consisted of seven Seniors, coach Salazar has ex- pectations for next years team. Senior David Fields was at one singles and earned more singles victories than anyone ever at Gateway, Sr. Mike Zylla was at number two singles, Sr. Scott Heroux and Sean Linder at one dou- bles. Sophs. Andre Hutton and Scott Nukerkat two doubles, Sr, Jeff Britigan and the only Junior, Matt Mantey at three doubles and the M.V.P. combina- tion of Rick Richardson and Mike Naw- rocki. Soph's Brian Wilson, Andre Hut- ton and Scott Nykerk should combine to make the three singles positions strong, and Mantey to put strength at one doubles for next season. We surprised ourselves with some of our victories, Olys, winning one of the remaining four matches. One week later the team went into districts ranked fourth out of twelve teams. But district only pro- vided more problems loosing three out of their first five matches. Places were earned by the fourth doubles team of Rick Richardson and Mike Nawrocki, who placed third, fourth place by the third doubles team of Jeff Britigan and 104 Boy 's Tennis corecard wins 6 loss 4 Oly's TEAM PLAYED Opp. 5 Hinkley 2 4 Mullen 3 4 Littleton 3 5 Heritage 2 2 Overland 5 5 Smoky Hill 2 lst Aurora City championships O Cherry Creek 7 5 Central 2 2 Fairview 5 2 Regis 5 6th Districts s y sssr f K ,es me at . tii. lx .s :seas :s - . 4.
