Desire Brings Title There was an air of confidence and winning as this year ' s tennis team showed up for the city meet. The other schools knew Howe would win and the real contest was for second place. The team swept the city cham- pionship, taking twice as many points as the second-place competitors. No city team was able to win a single set against Howe in season competition and the season ended with twelve wins and two losses. According to Coach Finkbiner, the team ' s success was due to hard work, dedication, and an insane desire to win. The five seniors on the team grew up playing tennis together. Their friendships and skills made what was normally an individual sport a team effort. No one was injured and all team members were able to compete in the sectional where the team was overcome by stronger county schools. Every team member has won at least one city title as the team continued their winning tradition. (Leslie Ann Wilfong) 1. Team captain Gary Loveman races to return the ball with a forehand smash. 2.
