Stott Takes Time to Coach by: Jason Haley Ken Stott marked his third year of coaching tennis on an enthusiastic note. The team will be better than last year's team, Stott said. More people came out this year with better talent. Stott could not pick an outstanding player, but said he had a large number of good players. Heading his list were Dennis Cuya, Ramon Cuya, Mike George, Hector Lara and Frank Wood. Senior Dennis Cuya summed up the team's recent performances by stating All our defeats have not been losses, but rather, they have been stepping stones to our improvement. Junior Frank Wood spoke of Stott by saying, He's more than a coach, he's an inspiration to us all to achieve excellence. Stott said of his players that, l enjoy coaching the guys who are out there. They work whether l'm out there or not. Stott also said the teams to beat were Northgate and Clayton Valley and for the first time in three years Pittsburg would have a JV team. 1.
