Scott Plain, the No. 1 player throughout the year, rolled over five opponents in the regional by a total score of 30-4, 30-5. Plain beat team- mate Reggie Rouse in the finals 6-0, 6- 1. The combination of Scott Haycraft and Talmage Hocker took the doubles event at the regional to win a berth at the state tourney. In the Big 8, the boys were upset as Henderson County took the event with 22 points. OHS finished second with a total of 20 points. During the regular season, the boys had a 45 match win streak snapped as Henderson County won the match 6- 1. As for the rest of the teams the De- mons faced, they shutout all their op- ponents except three. OHS shutout arch rival Apollo twice and Catholic High once.

Talmage Hocker fright, and Scott Hay- An ironic thing happened to the Owensboro High tennis team. After OHS completely dominated the regional, they were completely dominated at state. Whether it was an off day, or the team just couldn't get it together, or the competition was too tough, OHS won only one match at the state tennis tournament in Lexington. All of OHS' eight players were eliminated from play on the first day. The day started out good when Scott Plain won his first match, de- feating Butch Young of Richmond Model 6-3, 6-1. After that lone bright spot, the day fell apart for the tennis team. Plain was defeated in his second match by John Varga of Louisville St. Xavier 6- 3, 6-1. Reggie Rouse was defeated in his first and only match by Dale Randall of Louisville Fairdale 6-2, 6-4. S M G l l? HUG OHS' doubles team of Scott Hay- craft and Talmage Hocker fell to Lou- isville Ballard's duo of George Moorin and Derek Weiss 6-0, 6-1. In the girls' action, Jane Norris was beaten by Lexington Henry Clay's Lee McGuire 6-2, 6-1. Another OHS player, Sherryl Rouse, was defeated at state by Rita Ollins of Louisville Stuart 6-3, 6-2. Owensboro's doubles team of Shawn Watson and Susan Kelley was defeated by Cathy Stiles and Beth Wilkerson of Paris 6-3, 6-1. After a spectacular final season for Coach Keith Augenstein, Lady Luck ran out in the state. - By Chuck Clark Tennis Teams!
