Golf and Tennis Create pring Sports Enthusiasm This season the Mona Shores Tennis Team had a solid dual match squad as only three of last year's fourteen var- sity letter winners graduated. In the spite of the loss of Dick Livingston and Greg Sando, who graduated, the Sailor's possessed both experi- ence and depth. Phil Halladay and Dave VanDam, defend- ing city doubles champions, took up where Livingston and Sando left off. This year coach Gary Harden welcomed the biggest turn- out in Sailor history. Many of the boys had good potential and one or two years of JV experience. Enthusiasm was high and competition was keen which enabled Coach Harden to spring a few surprises this season.

Blue and White Exhibit Speed and Ball Control Protesting an unfavorable call at the half-time buzzer is coach .lack Cooper. A disappointing year marked the MS. 67-68 varsity basketball season. There were major setbacks, but never once did the M.S. cagers let down and always produced an exciting game. Some of the brighter points were a last second basket by Scott Bacon giving M.S. a victory over East Grand Rapids in overtime and the final game with Catholic when the Sailors came from be- hind in the last minutes to pull out a 53-48 victory. The Sailors finished the year with a 6-10 seasonal mark. + Bamey Goodrich, Greg Melrose, Phil Halladay, Bob Luyendyk, l Bob Skodack, Jim Briggs.

Mona Shores Excels in Track and Baseball The 68 baseball season was one to build on, said Coach Don Dezelsky, because of the many underclassmen who returned this year to help out in the team efforts. The Sailors put forth a strong show- ing despite the rugged competition of the Valley Coast Baseball League. Mona Shores had its three top hurlers back this seasong Mark 'Vincent, Bob Halla- day and Jim Depoy. Strengthening the infield were Tony Morano, Don Hoe- kenga, Donn Sundin, Tony Whitlow, and Harry Visscher. The M.S. ball team, despite the lack of depth, did a commendable job and made the Port of the Sailors stand out as a permanent threat in baseball com- petition.
