BOYS TENNIS CAN’T BE MATCHED A strong sense of competition drove the boys tennis to a successful season. Coached by Mr. Swillcy, the King Boys Tennis would practice each day, against each other, each player perfect- ing his game as he helped improve his teammates game. Serve after serve, volley after volley, con- tinuous determination to be the best steered the tennis team towards victory in every match they played. Seniors Craig Brooks and Sorcn Kjacr held down the number one and two positions on the team and had strong all-around games, from smashing forehands to blistering serves. Peter Fisk and Rodney Tuten both juniors battled for the next two positions and contributed a fear to many King victories. The rest team battled for the fifth position to produce the best five players King has to offer. The King High Tennis Team produce some of the best area players and college pros- pects.
