It was smooth sailing for the Lady Cheifs throughout regular season play. After easily capturing the district title, they came across their first taste of tough competition in the Regional Tournament. The girls won their first match in a heart-stopping 5-4 decision over Hermitage. In the finals of this tournament, the Cheifs were dealt their first defeat of an otherwise unble- mished season. The girls worked long and hard to- gether to produce such a winning sea- son. Daily practices and long bus rides, however, never grew dull thanks to the spirited support of the team mascot, Dell Averette. All in all, the girls had a great season together and the entire team agrees that the founda- tion for a winning tradition has been set. f ‘ = LN AA Ee ee PBC OS es ain a ili, li ae ours; “ere ae ae ONAC, : ‘ 2 ee ‘ nessa , i i Nh A ina ti — Girls’ tennis.
