'W If ,A BOYS TENNIS TEAM - FRONT ROW: Gary Austin, Kyong Kim, Gary Dotson, Donny Raines. BACK ROW: Joe Buffington, Coach Bert Curtis, Mark Stubbs. Concentration, hard work and a lot ot practice helped Kyong Kim contribute victories to the tennis team. Named All American High School, Wendy Tillet practices every day to perfect her serving. Tillet had a successful season with a total of 36 victories. A look in the trophy case shows the successful ability and drive ot the North Garland tennis team. Netters started off the spring season with a strong first place win in the North Garland Second Annual Raider Open. , In doubles, Barbara Barron and All American High School Michelle Parks i took first place in the A competition. ln singles, Girls Most Valuable Player Carla Begley, took first place in the A competition. ln the boys division, Donny Raines took first place in the B while All American High School Mark Stubbs received a second in the A competition. Competition has been against other teams and not against each other and that gives the team more time to think about beating our opponents, commented Michelle Parks. In district play, the boys had a hard struggle with only three wins, seven losses and two ties, putting them in fifth place. Meanwhile, the queens of the court battled for a third place spot behind Highland Park and North Mesquite. I like playing doubles because I enjoy playing with a partner and also have an easier chance of winning. Qaulities of the other team determines whether or not I should play in doubles or singles, explained Barbara Barron, The outcome ot a game depends on the team as a whole and not just a few individuals. Every game is played on an honor system and very rarely do we have any major arguments on whether a ball went in or not, said Kim Staman. So far, out ofthe three years l have played tennis, there's been only one major argument on whether the ball went in or not and that was here at our tournament, added Wendy Tillet. Fired up and ready for the 1978-79 season are tive returning seniors. All tive lettered their junior years and are anticipating a successful season. Also named All American High School were as follows: Wendy Tillet, Carla Begley, Barbara Barron and Donny Raines.
