Kats place first in State Through the years the Klein tennis team has been notorious for its outstanding accomplishments, placing first in State competition two years in a row. Although the fall competition was held at the University of Texas campus in Austin, the Klein team felt right at home. Both the boys and girls played each match with vigor, striving for the win. The players, coached by Bill Lacovara and Julie Christiansen, did not achieve this goal without much hard work. Anxiously preparing for the various tennis tournaments, the athletes practiced backhand andfronthand swingsaswellas many other skillful maneuvers each day during sixth period. Under the leadership of Kim Richards and Tim Lootens, the tennis team excelled tremendously in the year of 1983, especially proud of yet another State Championship. 4' ,S ,. x 5 236 Tennis ,. 1 5 N, X I , C The 1983-84 Varsity Tennis team.
