Netters Take Second In Conference Meet Grambling walked off with the individual doubles championship, but not the team trophy during the Southwestern Athletic Conference Tennis Tournament in Houston last May. Craig Brown and Abraham Phillip beat Richard Akande and Olalekan Onileeke of Southern, 6-1, 5-7, 6-3, to claim the individual doubles title, but GSU was beaten 5-1 for the team championship. It was extremely close with David Hill of Grambling playing No. 6 singles and losing a heartbreaker 7-5, 7-6 decision to Southern’s Allen Williams. And that was the deciding match as the Jaguars went on to win the title after having won four matches previously during the day. Kenneth Myers got the Tigers in good shape with a 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 triumph over David Davergne of Southern in the No. 1 singles match. But from there on, it was all Southern as Willis won the deciding match. Tiger netters compiled some impressive individual statistics during the ’86 season. Noteworthy performances were turned in by Craig Brown, who went 13-8; David Hill, 12-6; Darryl Wellington, 10-8; Abraham Phillip, 9-6; Kenneth Myers, 9-9. In doubles action Brown-Keith Foxworth went 7-4 while Brown and Phillip were 6-3. Paul Washington and Edison Williams compiled a 4-0 mark and David Hill and Myers scored 3-1. During the season the Tigers reeled off a 12-10 record. yr $e sdong, 2eakenee a Sch See cath teeta ae a nas onan ah deena ane ae Pe pt tay 5 28 GB Ge 5 aie ti andi ana 2 ot tae Py es ‘nea oe eee re we Oe ed Se ee |. a a ae ale ook a te ee ig SE OE a Se he att Fe ee ee Oe ae eee 0 Oe te coe ie oath me 2 aie Sa Fe ee oe oe ae aie eee en lathe atneegenpen sett Oe ee oe can at jhe jue? a ee Spe eee sa ih ath tie aie ie aan ad 5 ana aiaied +: i de ai die ln ae an ee ae Sita na 4 ei jaet tou oe od Edison Williams, Paul Myers, Abraham Phillip, Keith Foxworth, Dave Williams, Dave Hill.
