iclelining the rest ectional Victor Sweet The girls' tennis team had much to play up to. Last year's team had a 10-3 record and placed third in the sec- tional. But they knew they could meet that challenge. Second year coach lim Lyon stated, I wanted the girls to have a winning season, naturally, and to win sectionals. That was their plan of attack. My challenge for the year, said Lyon, was to get a doubles team that played well together. This problem was solved by sophomore Michelle Edwards and junior Rookie of the Year Pam Fisher. I thought there was good chemistry between us, stated Edwards. We worked well together and it also im- proved both doubles teams. The team had more girls than ever trying out for varsi- ty in February. Practices were busy, either being held at Homestead, or, when the weather would not permit, at Wildwood Racquet Club.

They were only beaten by Bishop Luers, both times 0-5. Playing the Knights the se- cond time scared them just a bit but they accepted the challenge. I felt terrified, reflected Fisher. I had but- terflies. It made me mad that we had to play at Wildwood lbecause of rainl. They had a definite advantage since they had been practicing there all week. Regional play ended with that 0-5 loss to Luers but the girls and Coach Lyon were glad they had met their earlier goals they set at the first of the year. We had the positive at- titude that it takes to be an awesome team, summarized senior Betsy Blume. I f .Q Tfliv..--v .- .VM f .fy f . ,1 1' .J . ff r . -- , .... I --. ...-....,..----.

mashing good success Weet A sectional winning girls' team and a state runner-up boys' were two things the boys' and girls' reserve tennis teams had to look up to. It wasn't that bad being overshadowed jby the varsi- tyj since it was always great to see them on t.v. or in the newspapers, said freshman Glen Krewson. On the boys' reserve team the players were divided up 20 Reserve Tennis SEHSGII into two teams, a gold and a blue. Both teams alternated back and forth between mat- ches. It was hard to estimate how many matches we won or lost since 9 or ten of us would play at one time, said freshman john Gilbert. The girls' reserve team was 100'70 different as they had just the right number on the reserve team which went 12-6. The same girls played reserve everywhere the var- sity went. Usually the reserves would just get started when the varsity was done with their matches. Whether they were over shadowed or not the reserves have something in common to look forward to and that's being on the varsity team.
