Tennis, golf seek victories Using the same techniques as last year, such as a video recorder to improve perfor- mances, the boys' tennis team planned to improve on a 6-8 '80 season. We seem to have very am- bitious players this year, commented Coach Gary Haas, who replaced Dena Mason as varsity coach. Returning players and leading the team were Mike Clem, Barry Mettler, and Mark Tamura. We have a young team consisting of five juniors, three sophomores, and three fresh- men, so we are preparing now for next year, stated Haas. John Solari from the Lodi Recreation Department also helped coach the team. Starting the season with an upset 201-210 victory over rival St. Mary's, the gob' team also got of to a great start. Leading the squad to try to surpass their 6-6 record of last year were Alan Bluhm, Kevin Fisher, Scott Smith, and James Cope. Golfers received new equipment, such as shirts and bags, and played their home matches again at the Elkhorn course. We had a decrease of players, but with more ex- perience we should do very well this year, commented Coach Rod Gaines. 190
