The girls took the first game from the Aztecs, 15-O, and eventually took it to all five games before be- ing defeated bythe peren- nial league power.

WampIer's Wailers Compile 14-0 Record Once again the girls varsity tennis team had an outstand- ing year, missing perfection by only two schools. They fin- ished the year with a magnificent I8-2 overall record. and a 14-0 standing in the Empire league. VARSITY TENNIS: Deana Cleveland, Lynn Davenport. Denise Rouette, Sandy Mattews, Charmain Wight, Ms. Wampler, Cathy Croce, Michelle Mras. Tia Graff. Monica Davis The team was led by the outstanding singles play of Mi- chelle Mras and Lynn Davenport. with Ms. Mras being named the LA Times player of the week for her play. The doubles were led by Tia Graff and Monica Davis who re- ceived thc teams outstanding doubles award. Among the top doubles in the Empire League were Charmain Wight and Cathy Croce, and Sandy Mattews and Denise Rouette. These lady knights sizzled through their regular season and assuring Katella a fifth consecutive appearance in the C.I.F. playoffs. The on court highlight of the year came with two defeats of the tough Los Alamitos team, ll-7 and 10-8 respectively. assuring the team an Empire League Cham- pionship. Off the court there was a memorable experience of having the teams picture taken at the Disneyland Hotel. The lady knights easily made it past the first two rounds of C.l.F.. defeating both oftheir opponents 15-3. Unfortunately they ran into Westlake in the quarter finals. They suddenly found themselves on the losing end ofa 14-4 score. Next year seems to be somewhat cloudy for the team as five players move up and out of Katella. On the fund raising side. the lady knights raised about S2500 by working at the Sunland Skiers sale, having a traditional car wash, and selling the dentists best friend, candy.
