Tennis: Greg Harper Named M VP The 1974 Varsity Tennis Squad was young with four sophomores and two seniors but that fact didnlt stop them from winning the first two matches in regular season play in two years. Sophomore Greg Harper who was seeded the number one player on the team was also elected as the most valuable player by his fellow teammates. The 1974 season also saw a new coach assume the responsibilities of directing the team. Mr. McCartin stated that he tried to work on fun- damentals such as basic stroke tech- niques and playing the net with authority. Mr. McCartin stated, I feel as though the team and its indi- vidual members have come a long way since practice began in mid- August. I am positive the 1975 sea- son will see the experienced players win a lot more matches for Silver Creek. With a little Hfifties nostalgia, these iunior girls helped the iunior Sr. Arnold Conaway breaks through the Spirit boys get 'psyched' up during the intramurals. KNEELING: D. Purcell, Hoop. L.

Cross C0 1111 try: - R unners F inish Second in MSC Behind Highlanders Realistically, I thought we were the second best team in the Mid- Southern Conference and thatls where we finished, stated first year cross country coach, Mr. Ken Trinkle. The team as a unit improved because their second place finish in the conference is two notches higher than last year's fourth place finish. Junior member of the running squad, Ken Ehringer, was awarded the Most Outstanding Runner Tro- phy. Coach Trinkle added that he was well pleased with the over-all spirit of the team. When it got close to the conference show-down, the team would practice before school. They also purchased orange and blue headgear in order to engender spirit. The Conference Meet was held at Northwood Institute on October 15 and the Dragon runners finished sec- ond behind the Floyd Central High- landers. HA5 for next year, Coach Trinkle continued, we have a lot of poten- tial and we'll be good if the boys keep working and improving. How- ever, F.C., who won the MSC, has everyone back so they will be tough. It all depends on who wants the title the most.
