Individually, the team had several out- standing players. Leading the team was the city champion, and Most Valuable Player, Darry! Wilburn. Darryl was ranked number one in the state and number three by the Mid-Atlantic Lawn Tennis Associ- ation (MALTA).

Despite the loss in regional competi- tion, the boys tennis team added another district championship to Monacan’s lengthening list of such honors, and pro- vided further evidence of athletic growth at Monacan High School. ye
