Kathy Neblett. Theresa Regnante. Wilson Rogers. 28 MEN ' S TENNIS: The men ' s tennis team at High Point College goes into the 1981 season with an almost entirely new cast of performers. The top three players for the past four years, including Ail-American Willem de Groot and All- Conference performers Chris Hohnhold and Phil Parrish, have graduated, leaving a large gap to be filled. Second-year Coach Charlie Futrell has two lettermen returning in Jim Holleran and Griff Thompson. The sophomores teamed to reach the conference finals in doubles a year ago as well as being ranked among the top four doubles teams in District 26. Holleran also won the number five singles fight in the conference. High Point College has been one of the dominant tennis teams in North Carolina over the past decade. This year ' s group, when they gain experience, hope to join the elite winners of bygone years. WOMEN ' S TENNIS: With four straight conference titles under their belts the women s tennis team seems all set for a run at a fifth. Five All-Conference members of a year ago return along with three superb freshman players. Seniors Vicky Williams, Kathy Neblett and Kinta Otterman played the top three positions for the past two years and have helped lead the Panthers to their string of championships. They have also won two state championships in the past three years as well as earning three trips to the regional tournament. High Point will have the option for the first time of trying to qualify for the AIA W State and Regional Tournaments or going with the NAIA ' s new championship program for women. Either way the Lady Panthers seem set for a very successful year.
