Challenge was the word that described the Boys ' Varsity Tennis Team ' s 1985 season. The competition was tough and the team did their best to stand up to it. We had many setbacks during the season, but I feel that each player improved his game, said senior Tom Heller. The team finished seventh place in the CAC. Senior Kurt Nelson commented, With the loss of two of our best players, it was really hard to end up in a strong standing in the CAC. Overall, the team ' s record for the season was 3 wins and 9 losses. First singles player, senior Chris Thomas, had a strong match season. The first doubles team of Tom Heller and David Spencer also had a tough spot. It was a difficult season in many ways, but I did enjoy working with the players. I appreciated the effort they put forth, said Coach Bill York. Mr. York returned to tennis coaching for the 1985 season after being a coach in previous years.

The high point for most of the players was the CAC league meet. We finished in third place in the CAC, but in the final meet we finished fifth. said Bill Dowell. Chris Rule was a medalist with a 74 and John Chapman was fourth with a 78. The final season record was 6-10. The low point of the season, said Todd Bosserdet, was when we lost to Mason, a team that was low on talent. Another low point according to team captain John Chapman was at the Regional Tournament. We knew we had the potential to qualify for states, but unfortunately we all played bad. Coach Dowell said, All the boys received valuable experience and played well in a very tough league. I felt the over all season was good. According to the team, Mr. Dowell was an excellent coach. He got the team fired up before each match. He was a real effective coach.
