CIF Again for Netters First year coach Don Morrell displayed his versatility as a coach by running an organized, spirited program. He used some football stretches to loosen up his charges and then had the guys do the famed Katella 6 g a hitting drill. 0nce again Los Al proved to be a nemesis to the Knights. As predicted Katella lost to the Griffins in both matches. Our team was also surprised by El Dorado in a mild upset. The match served as an eye opener however, and served to make the netters evaluate their season in realistic terms. ln the next El Dorado match Katella again lost but they played very close to their max Potential losing by a mere 2 points. Katella ended the season in third place with a 10 win 4 loss record. The third place finish allowed them to advance to the CIF which was one of their preseason goals. One injury during the season probably affected the season outcome. Don Dolandson suffered a stress fracture in his foot, putting him on the shelf for the entire year. He was the guy who could have made the difference in the tight matches. Ashik Patel was the number one player on the team and was also rated in the top 50 in Southern Cal. He was unde- feated during league play. OJ. Tatsuta, only a sophomore, lost only once during league. Steve Linstrom and Steve Lee were singled out as having made tremendous improvement. The team elected Ashik Patel and Dan Brunet as captains. The tennis players flashed a brainy side too. . -Ll Varsity: Bottom: Ashik Patel. Dan Brunet, Patrick Cheng. Steve Lee.
