Brian Roberts, who has played the first single ' s position for the past three years, felt that the tennis team had its good days as well as its bad ones, but he enjoyed playing the game. Although the tennis team consisted of only eleven individuals, the squad actually played in three different sections: singles, doubles, and reverses, [his meant that with the shortage of team members, many of the participating individuals had to double-up and often play several matches at each meet. As the first singles player, Brian Roberts said, It meant that I had to face the opposing school ' s top player in each match and some of the individual players were really good. Other singles players were Phil Goltzene and John Warren. Doubles consists of two team members who worked together to defeat the opposition and this was the one area of the sport where South went co-ed as both of our doubles teams consisted of male- female pairings. The doubles players were Robin Crabtree, Andy Rose, Melissa Everingham, and Bud Mongold. Practice was a lot better this year, stated Brian Roberts, as we could get in a lot of extra practice time with the new courts right outside the building. Tennis is still a lot of work as it is a year round effort to stay in shape, but in the end, all the time and effort seems worthwhile when you win the big match. 1. Coach Libey. 2. Robin Crabtree. 3.
