Kunst, Macias 'double' to state competition See the ball, be the ball. This statement was Coach Dave Konkol's philosophy he gave to the girls tennis team. The advice paid off as the team posted a winning season. I didn't feel our lineup was as tough as last year, but I was happy with the girls 7-6 re- cord, stated Coach Konkol. The doubles team of Clau- dia Macias and Vickie Kunst went down state even though its record for the season was only 2-lO. Ever since summer practice we realized there was one goal in our sights and that was state - the only thing we really wanted, stated Kunst. Lori Flor, foreign exchange student from Austria playing 2nd singles, filled in a spot that was in question all summer. With the line-up set, rivalry for a position was gone and con- centration on the opponents was achieved. I really like everyone on the team and we got along well. I especially liked the pep 9 Q l46 Boys Tennis talk before the matches when everyone wished the best for each other, stated Flor. The junior varsity team fin- ished its season with a IO-3 re- cord. The team placed 3rd in the 2nd annual Thornridge Tennis Frosh-Soph Invita- tional.
