We were region champs last year, and are hoping to do well in the state championship this year, is what Coach Spotts had to say about this year's boys' tennis team. One of the best seasons of tennis took place under his careful direction and the hard work of all the members of the team. This was the year that all the hard work paid off. After their undefeated season, the tennis team went on to have an out- standing record inthe playoffs. David Owens, who was voted most valuable player, won the county singles title, and John Maher went on to win the region title. While Pete Tzianabos had a 6-3 season at the third singles spot, Peter said, There was a lot of team spirit last year, but some disappointment over the state tournament. He con- tinued, however, with the guarantee that this year will be different. Peter Tzianabos and Joey Burchfield did an outstanding job at the first doubles position, going on to the runners-up in the championships. The only senior on the team, Stacey Vincent, played second doubles with many different people, and did a wonderful job. The third doubles team consisted of Brad Ashburn, and Ronnie Livers. They defeated one opponent after the other all season long. The new blood on the team, Brent Floyd and Eddie Long did a great job at the fourth doubles position. The dedication of the team was wonderful. Members of the team could be found practicing at the Best Friend Park tennis courts at any time. Over all the team had one of its best seasons in 1982, and hopes to have another great season in 1983. A7

The varsity team had an 8-2 season, and had four players make All-County. These outstanding people were Curtis Lee, Adam Oaks, Bill Tiller, and Kevin Godwin. The games are very important to all of the players, and although the games are full of tremendous tension, the players still manage to play very well under stress. Mike Carroll said that he is only nervous at the first game of the season, while Kevin Godwin told us, I always get hyper before a game starts. Peter Tzianabos and Richard Coblens said that they sometimes got a little nervous. The majority of the others said that they get nervous too. The B-team and ninth grade also did a wonderful job this season. The team had a 3-2- 2 season, and the Ninth grade had a 1-3-3 season. There was a lot of hard work and dedication put into the soccer teams this year by Coach Westmoreland. His hard work was well ap- preciated by the team. The teams felt like he put his heart and soul into their games as well as practice. lthough Mrs. Middour reads, sails, jogs, and plays tennis, she also dedicates a great amount of her time to the coaching of the girls' tennis team. I was extremely impressed with the girls' performance, she said when asked to comment on the 1982 season. The girls worked many long hours on their games. All of this hard work showed when the team had an overall 9-1 season. The first singles spot was played by Dia Powell. She held this position extremely well, winning the county singles title and playing in the semi-finals at the region playoffs. Kris Gilchrist played at second singles. She got into tennis herself, I had just moved here, and needed to get involved, she commented, and the team was glad she did. Kris has been a real asset to the team. Lisa LaFave did an outstanding job at third singles, and helped the team greatly. The first doubles team consisted of two Lisas, Lisa Gardner and Lisa LeFave. They did a great job together. Lawrey Waylen and Kim Wheeler did out- standingly well at second doubles. They went all the way to the semi-finals in the county playoffs. The third doubles team was made up of Carla Richardson and Paige Prather. They also did very well in the 1982 season. The alternates, Stephanie Smith and Susan Lauterbach, are also very enthusiastic, as we can see from Stephanie's statement, I feel that we have a great athletic department at N.H.S., and I enjoy being a part of it! 74 ...............s... 2 A l 3A
