A Dream Becomes Reality: From Mud To Tennis The Boys tennis team, consist- ing of 12 players and coached by Mr. Walker, began the season with a first - tennis courts at Glenn. While the girls' tennis team only dreamed about play- ing on their own home courts, the boys' team experienced the reality of their dream. Most players thought this sea- son was a good one. There were new and skilled players added to last years team. This team, with the addition of 3 top seeds, should be a winner, said Neil Courts Street in a pre-season interview. Senior Chris Pierce likes the one-to-one aspect of tennis. Tennis is the best, he said. ln tennis, it's only you against your opponent. You can't depend on anyone but yourself. It's you that's calling all the shots and you that's winning. The excitement and determi- nation of the tennis team could only mean a successful season for the individual player and the team as a whole.

Alive And Kicking Coming back with a season of experience and more de- termination than ever before, the Girls Soccer team laced up new cleats in early Febru- ary in hopes of a brand new start. Coached by Mr. Cachia, Mr. Connell, and a few of the best from the boys' team, the girls practice basic soccer skills and game situations in preparation for their 18 game season. Said sophomore Lau- ra Smyth, I feel that the team has improved. Some of us went to Sunset Soccer Camp over the summer so we would be ready for this season. Combining what we learned as beginners last sea- son and what we picked up over the summer, we have improved a lot. Girls Soccer Schedule Mach 11 Reynolds March 13 Parkland March 18 Mt.

As said by junior Stephanie Dotson, 'iWe play because we enjoy it. If all we cared about was winning, we wouldn't be happy on this team. But we have a team spirit and a love of the game that makes winning unimpor- tant. We have fun, and if that's all we accomplish, that's enough. The improvement, coach- ing, and love of soccer unique to this team are their keys to a new start and a successful season.
