A Stroke for Success Powerful backhands and skillful forehands made the 1985-86 girls’ tennis team a success. The team was led by Coach Mary Meadows and team captains Christy Colcord and Robyn Heisey. Each member showed his en- thusiasm to compete by practicing long, hard hours in order to be strong tennis players. The Senior members were: Christy Colcord, Robyn Heisey. Jennifer Bryant, and Tiphani Olson. The Junior members were: Tiffany Turner and Helen Coaston. The sophomores were: Heidi Smith and Mae Padios. This was the first time in many years that the team had depth in all five singles posi- tions. One of the stronger players was Tiffany Turner who was one of the top five in the county last year as a sophomore, and was still prospering. Both individual and group efforts gave the tennis team an outstanding season.
