Nelson, Walker nearly invincible If our singles were as strong as our doubles, no one could have stopped us ' said Coach Mary Mraas. Many outstanding performances were shown on the tennis court this year. The doubles were led by the invinci- ble two, junior Tammy Nelson and senior Chris Walker, who together contributed their many victorious games to the tennis team ' s record. While the singles were led by junior Pa tty Bereczky, senior Karen Connelly, and sopho- more Lisa Curtis, who all three went to C.I.F. The majority of the tennis players agreed that Coach Mary Mraas, with all her enthusiasm, talent, and leadership helped guide the team throughout the season. The season ' s standings were an overwhelming 11-9 win loss record, which placed the Loara Tennis Team second in league in a hard division. The sophomore tennis players kept the team going with high spirit for they were known as The Tennis Team Spirit Machine. Next year when the tennis season bounces back, if all the sophomore and junior players return, we should have a most promising season! exclaimed tennis Coach Mary Mraas. 1.

Character marks team spirit Although the teams didn ' t rank high in the leagues, the enthusiasm, potential energy, and skills performed by each individual made this in its own a winning season, said var- sity volleyball Coach Fay Motsumoto. The overall standings for varsity volleyball was 4-15, while the junior varsity had a little more rewarding season of 6-10. On both volleyball teams the spirit of each person was so abundant, that it made this sport fun and not just com- petition. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors shared the court with- out any conflicts. Each girl took her turn at being captain, as a new one was picked for each game. junior varsity Coach Jim Spagle commented, The teams showed a lot of character by not giving up despite losing several tough games. While varsity volleyball Coach Fay Motsumoto exclaimed, If each girl has actualized her goals and fears then this season has been one of growth! Both volleyball coaches agreed that at some point in the season all players performed 100%, and this is what sports are all about; win or lose.
