Coach Brings Success A lot of our success is due to him. This statement by Angie Lasater reflected the feelings of the girls ' tennis team about its new coach, Gene Hughes. This was Hughes ' first year as the girls ' tennis coach, although he has coached the boys ' team for years. Many of the team members felt that Coach Hughes was a major contributor to their winning season. Coach Hughes gave us a lot of enthusiasm and spirit, stated Allyson Miller. He never put pressure on us. Hughes also added a lot of support and encouragement to the players. As Kelly Loveridge put it, We all liked him so much. He was like a father to us. As for talent, the team has more than enough. Singles players Allyson Miller and Angie Lasater secured second and fourth places in the Ivy League. Each team member was part of a closely knit group. Not only were the players teammates, they were also friends. As Angie Lasater and Allyson Miller concluded, We were really close and we worked as a team, not as individuals. Behind their new coach, and with an emphasis on teamwork, the team concluded the season in second place, and went to CIF. GIRLS ' TENNIS TRAM, FRONT ROW: Ruben.
