Rain or Resurfacing? a We put more time and effort into our matches than our record shows. -Beth McCown “Is it raining again?” “You mean they’re still resurfac- ing the courts?” The April showers and attempts to im- prove the courts at the Country Club made it next to impossible to play tennis. These obstacles were over- come however, and the Girls’ Varsity even pro- duced a 6-3 record. The girls’ first loss was to a tough Leon team. This was the only team they lost to twice. New opponent, Flor- ida High, proved to be Varsity Gir s Tennis Team.Front row:Katherine Hinson, Cammie Schroeder, and Karen Hayes.

Due to the injury of their number one player, Florida High was defeated when the two teams met again. Both matches against Maclay were cancelled, but the girls played the Maraud- ers in district play. The slow job of resurfacing led to playing three away matches in one week. The final match against Madison was played on the resurfaced courts.

Tennis continued Stats Karen Hayes 2nd piace girls’ singles in district Most agreed the courts were great and well worth the wait. The boys still had one lone win against Madison. Led by senior, Bill Higdon, the boys worked on strategy. Coach Lynn Shelter allowed them to place themselves. This was an arrangement they enjoyed. On April 18th the Varsity teams participated in the District Tournament in Pen- sacla. After rolling the courts to clear standing wa- ter, the first round of play began. The girls were elim- inated in the first round with the exception of Karen Hayes. She defeated Maclay and was then defeated by Pensacola Catholic. The boys were also eliminated in the first round. The Junior Varsity Girls had their share of problems with canceled matches against Maclay and Bain- bridge. Facing a tough Bain- bridge team made the sea- son even harder, but they survived it. The experience proved invaluble as each player im- proved and developed more skill in an effort to be com- petitive in the future. • Junior Varsity Tennis Team.Front row:Mary Bryant Hin- son.
