Cara West dominates Tennis Season It was a very successful season, stated Coach Dave Shaffer. He was referring to the women ' s tennis team, who put in many hard hours of condi- tioning and training to make their sea- son record of 10-5, and finish second in the Sectional Meet. Outstanding individual perfor- mances were carried out by sopho- more Cora West and freshman Denise Ceryak. Cora was top singles player on the team. Sectional champ, runner up in Reginoals, and eighth in state competition. Denise also hod an out- standing season, her individual record was 20-3, and she was fourth in the sectionals. The team played well together and Mr. Shaffer was proud to be a port of such a successful team. Julie Priest and Kay Bohn were one of the top doubles teams. Here Kay serves and Julie plays the net.
