l lcUtvi ' Km4 Hx Team unity and spirit prevailed through the fall tennis season, carrying the Varsity to Regional com- petition, while the spring season produced four play- ers competing at the State level. In the fall the team captured the number one ranking in the state during the season, and ended their strong season ranked fifth in the state. In rhc spring tour play- ers — Nicky Jacobs, Me- lissa Gonzales, Gary Loth- ringer, and William Clinchard — reached the State quarter-finals, and Lothringer went on to semi-final competition. In the spring our play- ers are able to concentrate on their specialty — either single or double play, said Coach Lisa Wheeler. Yet some players feel that fall play is more ex- citing. The team unity and spirit is far more great in the fall, said senior Me- lissa Gonzales. Every sin- gle match is important and everyone supports each other. There was an abun- dance of raw talent this year, said senior Vu Do. Our players are very ath- letic and have a solid foun- dation of the basic tennis strokes.

PUyc Sd SklU The Junior Varsity and the Freshmen teams worked together through- out the year in practices and in tournaments. Both teams concentrated on self- improvement as individual players, strengthening their own skills. There wasn ' t any pres- sure on us to win, said C ool Cuach VX ' heeler says hey, try sophomore Kathy Geiger. We played in tourna- ments to gain experience. Although Freshman Mike Timoskevich thought you start taking the game more seriously at the high school level, he agreed that the major emphasis was on developing technique, sharpening mental tough- ness, and improving phys- ical endurance. The Junior Varsity and Freshmen seasons are not divided into team and in- dividual seasons like the Varsity fall and spring sea- sons. We didn ' t have a strict schedule, said Geiger. We just played in tour- naments whenever we could. J.V. Tennis 163
