Smashing season sends Barkowski to state Pumping iron and running laps was often greeted by com- plaints but the result for the varsity boys tennis team was a winning record of 8-5. The team was highlighted by junior Brian Barkowski as he set an individual record of l3-7 and qualified for state after accumulating l7 points in sectional competition. I was very happy to go down state, but I think l could have played much better if l wouldn't have been so psyched out, said Barkowski. The team took first place in the T.F. North - T.F. South tour- nament and a first place in its own Thornridge tournament. It placed third in conference and third in sectionals. At the top of the line-up was Barkowski at first singles, Mark Major and Larry Szymczak at first doubles. Sophomore Doug larard earned the spot of second singles and sometimes played second doubles. Usual- ly playing second doubles, though, were Paul Lamb and Steve Hawrot. larard, commenting on his l26 Boys Tennis season, said, lt was a chal- lenge being a sophomore and playing both singles and dou- bles on the varsity team. Coach Dave Konkol, pleased with the season, ad- ded, l-2-3 we had a winning record, we qualified a guy for state and for the third year in the row we beat Thornwood and Thornton and were district champs.
