V Ron Hammond completes a powerful swing. Cline under par In the game of golf, one under par is a great score. Yet, on a golf team, a shortage of members, unlike points, could be crucial. Beginning the season confidently with five players, the team unexpectedly decreased to four, losing one because of academic problems. This often affected their eligibility to compete. There are times when one of us can't play, and when one of us couldn't play, then the team couldn't compete as a team, explained Ron Hammond. Under Coach Ray Hinze, the team spent several afternoons at Bear Creek Park, improving old skills and learning new ones. They traveled to several tournaments including ones at Walden, Bluebonnet Country Club and Atascocita. John Oster- man had the best individual score of 86 while the best team score was 368.

- ttttttmg tot the eight The Junior Varsity Tennis Team's accomplishments were dominated by Tien Nguyen, a freshman and number eight on the tennis ladder. Because of a shortage of regular players, the junior varsity did not have a full schedule. Numbers seven and eight on the boys' and on the girls' teams, Donald Lee, Tien, Christie Williams, and Tammy Carnell, competed in the varsity matches as C doubles. Everyone worked out on the courts and on the track con- sistently. Many substituted for the varsity players who were unable to play in a match. Tien won his matches against Cy-Fair and Cy-Creek. In the Beaumont tournament, Tien played A doubles with Doug Warden and advanced to the quarter-finals, winning two mat- ches. Also, he was the only one on junior varsity to win a match at the district tournament, in the freshman division. The junior varsity represetns our hopes for the future. They show great potential, commented Coach Dennison. 4Chris Ward watches the ball carefully as he anticipates to kill his forehand.

Under the coaching of Ms. Kathy Adams, the four members spent many afternoons at Bear Creek Park enjoying the friendly atmosphere while working hard to develop new skills. They entered several tournaments, including ones at Chan- nelview, Katy and Navasota. Being a relatively inexperienced team with three new golfers, the girls won none of their tour- naments, yet, throughout the year, all showed a definite im- provement. The best team score was 598 and Lorraine Thompson had the best individual score of l08. Summing up the team's overall performance on an op- timistic note, Lorraine replied, Everyone grew closer and we all had a really good time together, even though we didn't have that great of a year. 4 Even without a ball Joycelyn Ciaidousek knows the advantages f V Lorraine Thompson com pletes her swing with ease
