Long practices, strategy and determination hiked the Boys ' Tennis record from 0-1 0 to 6-6. Potential problems, such as sharing the courts with the girls ' team, constant rain and rescheduled games worked themselves out. The schedule of matches earned the team the fourth place slot in the district. We could possibly have won a few more matches, but some of the players choked up sometimes during games, Coach Jack Cox commented. Still I ' m very pleased with the team ' s improvement. ennis: New Coach, Even Season Boys ' Tennis 27

Strategy was the name of the game. And Girls Tennis Coach Pam Hanzlik realized the importance of it. The I 974 team had more than just experience to face the season s stronger competition. After school practices consisted of not only hitting a tennis ball back and forth over a net but also of analyzing fhe team members ' mistakes and the competitors ' weaknesses. As a result, the season was good although the scores didn ' t show how close the losses were. In fact, Barbara Bogese and Diane Ameen won a consolation trophy at Longwood College High School Tennis Day, and in doubles Susan Davis and Pam Seavy placed fourth in regional competition at Charlottesville. In a home meet against George Wythe, Karen Balint gets set to return a volley. Devilettes lost 4-3.
