Netmen seize city fifth, Bedford, Sidener set pace For spring 1968, the Northwest tennis team compiled a season rec- ord of 7-10. Standing out among the varsity's triumphs were the Speedway Invitational, where they finished third, and the Howe Invita- tional, where they placed fourth. Their crowning achievement, how- ever, was the fifth place finish in the city tournament. During that tournament, Curt Sidener, junior, was runner-up in singles. In the fall 1968 state tournament, played at Ben Davis, the team found new talent. The Kersey brothers, Dave, a sophomore, and Kenney, a junior, both from Henderson, Kentucky, played for Northwest. These two, plus more underclass- men talent, will form the nucleus of coach Don Thompson's team for the next year.
