I would like to see even more try out when we get new facilities, Coach Brown said. jesus Gonzalez, Kim Hodgkins, Robert Johnston and Tracy Ruth- erford were the top players for the team. 2 A . 1. junior Varsity tennis members are, front row, jesus Martinez, Tracy Ruther- ford, Yollie Mendoza, Diana Watkins, Es- tela Morales and Greg Riggs, middle row, Chris Stallworth, Robert Johnston, Carrie Glidwell, Kim Hodgkins, and joe Apo- dacag back row, Enrique Alfaro,jesus Gon- zales, and Philip Colemanero. 2.

Iirosh enjo f i S 3 14 inning season ZQ Mrs. Gloria Garza joined the faculty this year, and coaching the freshman volleyball team was her first assignment. I've really en- joyed this because the girls really hustle and put all they've got into the game, she said. Team captain Elena Narvarez defended the back line, while Lupe Marez and Dolores Lucero handled the spiking chores. Best servers were Sandra Berumen and Maria Jimenez. Susie Orona was not only a top setter, she also man- aged to keep the team spirit run- ning high. Terry Granillo was noted for her killer serves, and Virginia Martinez was the team's most im- proved player. Front players were Sandra Vasquez and Claudia Saldivar. The team was tied for first place as the season wound down, but a disappointing loss to Ysleta junior High left the Bulldogs in second place.

arsity improves greatl A young and inexperienced var- sity tennis team came off last year's winless season to offer stiffer competition to their oppo- nents. Outstanding players in fall com- petition were seniors Angie Espin- osa and Marty Tatum, and juniors Fernie Carrillo, Brian Ledger, Carl Link and Lucy Moncayo. To stay close in competition is our main goal. We're going to give our district opponents a run for their money, said Coachjesse Brown. 60 Tennis Q K. Q
