GIRLS ' TENNIS - ROW 1: |enni) Davis, Rachel Whitcornb. Beth Michelman, Amy Wildgnibe; ROW 2: Wende Thompson, Stephanie Bock, K.ithy Manning, Kellv Wilson, Michelle Chapman; NOT PICTURED: Coach Dutch Hoffman Following through on her forehand, sophomore Rachel Whitcornb works to overcome her opponent. 1 1 Individual talent, team spirit Dutch Hoffman coached the girls ' and boys ' tennis teams this year because he loved every minute of it, he admitted. His players encouraged his attitude by displaying a combination of positive effort on the court and unmatched team spirit. Despite the loss of several seniors, both teams had suc- cessful seasons. I think we did just as well as last year, stated Hoffman. Clearwater, Osceola, St. Petersburg, and Countryside were among the toughest teams the Patriots faced this season. Ac- cording to Hoffman, Team work was very important to our success. New players definitely helped us to improve, stated freshman Bob Sleight. Michelle Chapman and Kelley Wilson, both freshmen, added depth to the girls ' team. Strong players returning to the boys ' team this year were junior Ned Davis and sophomores Steve Vasquez and D.J. Hill. Sleight added that the new and old players cooperated and worked well together. By utilizing new and re- turning talent, Hoffman ' s ' ' highly spirited team turned in a season that was much im- proved over previous years. During an after school practice, sophomore Jenna Davis concen- trates on her ground strokes.
