SOCIETY NATIONAL BANK of the Miami Valley Springfield Xenia Fairborn South Charleston Tennis is the only game in town that you don ' t want to end with love. Love means that o player has no points and this was just one of many terms such as faulr, duece, and advantage that hod to be learned before the players even began to compere. Under rhe guidance of new Head Coach Jim Scoby, rhe members of the South High School Ten- nis Team soon learned that rhe game rook many long hours of procrice and concenrrarion, Not only the long prac- tice but also the patience and deter- mination required were very deman- ding, but Coach Scoby put together a team of young men and women who worked hard and became very com- petitive. The WOL has never been an easy league, but South ' s netrers held their own and overcame many strong opponents to develop into a fine team of tennis players. By: David Whifed WE DDNT WANT LOVE 130
