The 1987 season proved to be respected with a well-rounded JV tennis team. Al- though a fairly young team, they were very strong and did extremely well. Coach Parinello always strove for excel- lence and brought out the best in his players. 'll think our coach is a really great guy. He takes the sport seriously, which really helped a lot. It meant a lot to him when we won, therefore, we did our best to please him by winning, replied returning Junior Scott Fish- er. The game of tennis also seemed to be a challenge for the players. 'fTennis is enjoy- able because it is an individual sport and it's all up to yourself to win or losef' emphasized Chris Bryan. Joining the tennis team has really satisfied the teammates. Scott Fisher closed by add- ing, 'fl have enjoyed every year of tennis I have played, but the last two years and this year of high school tennis for PHS have been the best.
