Changing Season TEAM PICKS UP NEW COACH At the start of the season the team was coached by Mr. Ed Miller. Halfway through though Mr. Miller resigned due to personal reasons. The team then picked up Mr. Bob Zumbo as their coach. Mr. Zumbo found the most difficult part of taking the team was try- ing to get to know the girls and their talents. It was dif- ficult finding doubles teams that worked well together. He feels that in order to play you have to be aggres- sive and the most aggres- sive and most talented will play. Some of the most tal- ented were Leilani Ivins, Suzy Stemple, and Annette Duncan. The team was very young with only one graduating senior, ten underclassmen and three juniors. Leilani Ivins played the top seed this year and will be a great asset to the team in the next two years. The team is going to be strong in the fu- ture with all of the young aspiring stars.
