Freshman elevated to varsity he girls tennis team was having some fun as they ended their season with a record of 7 wins and 10 losses in dual meets. Al- though our record was not as we expected it to be, we all stuck together and the con- cept of competiting as a team was always on our minds, stated Gail Grazioli, senior. The varsity team consisted of 1 freshman, 2 sophomores, 3 juniors, and 3 seniors. This was not a disappointing sea- son knowing that there were underclassmen that did so well, stated Coach Dave team Konkol. The only freshman on the team, Kimlyn Scott, was ele- vated to the varsity team. This is the first season since l've been coaching that a freshman played on the varsity level, commented Coach Konkol. The captains that led the team were Grazioli and Angela Carlomango, senior. Both of these girls played on the team for four years. The sophomore team ended its season with a record of 3 wins and 8 losses. MQ Above: J.V.
