Although a ma- jority of team members were first year players,the individual enthusiasm of the returning members was stronger than ever. What the team may have lacked in experience they made up in motivation and per- severance. During the season, ten girls rotated plalying dou- bles or singles. Usually, the top four players ranked should play singles and the remaining four were supposed to play doubles. However, Coach Rosser rotated the girls in order to find out what type of game each girl played best. Each girl on the team was dedi- cated to playing her sport. Dedicated was an understate- ment. Each girl put in approxi- mately 2 hours per practice, starting in the summer and continuing everyday through- out the season. Some of the players supplemented their training by attending summer tennis camps or taking ad- vanced tennis lessons. These girls obviously put in much time and hard work to be the best. Although the team did not at- tain first place they were highly spirited and commpetitive and exemplified a great deal of skill and potential throughout the weeks of play. This team showed the true meaning of the Warhawk spirit. El Cajon Mercedes Benz Girls Tennis 65
