lnexperience hurt our team all season. Actually we could have won more matches if l would have played just our top six players. But I felt that it was important to play as many com- binations as possible. Hopefully it will pay dividends in the fall of 1979, replied coach Gary Newcomb of the 1978 Golf team. MVP, Mark Smity commented, lt was an honor this year to play on the team and to have Mr. Newcomb as our coach. Although our record wasn't too good, we had a lot of fun. We hope to improve our game over the summer. A winning record is not too far away! The team record was 1 win and 2 losses. 64 Golf!Girl's Tennis THE '78 GOLF TEAM-back row: Paul Vallini, Brian Bradsher, Loran Coffman, Mr. Newcomb, Fton l.aGodna, Jeff Roesler, Eric Wallen.

An unusual amount ofanlrle injuries occurred this season, Chris Daugherty injured her ankle during one of the first games and missed most of the season. For- tunately, she returned in time for the league tournament. Later on in the season, guard, Diane Jarvis injured her ankle and was out for the tourna- ment. In spite of the team's misfortunes the Varsity Dragons won first place in the league tournament, and third place in the Oakland A. Winning the league tournament was encouraging but taking third in the Oakland A was a big disap- pointment, Chris Daugherty said. Linda Axsom stated, We didn't do as well as we had hoped for, but teams do have their ups and downs. The Varsity girls finished the season 16 and 5. Coach Elias concluded, Lots of hard work and many hours of prac- tice were beneficial.
