Having players on the team who are qualified, ranked in state, and even natinal- ly ranked contributed immensely to the success of our program this year. In addition, these players were a fine example of what can be accomplished through hard work to our younger players, said Coach Richard Howell. Tommy Alfano, number three in state singles and forty-eight in nation singles, has been a major asset for two and a half years. His sophomore and half of his junior year was spent at the Competitive Edge program at Newks Tennis Ranch. I enjoy the state and national tournaments, because there is a lot of competition which helps me continually to improve, said Tommy. He signed a full athletic scholarship to Todd Smith shows his great form as he puts another forehand away. attend the University of Mississippi in the fall. Freshman Debbie Poole had an outstanding year on varsity. At the Alamo City Open, she won the Girls' Doubles Title with Viviane Van Poppel. Also at the Open, and at the Roosevelt Invitational Tennis Tournament for Freshmen, she won the Girls' Singles Title. Aside from these distinctions, Debbie was number three in District, and number nineteen in State USTA rankings. She really helped carry the girls throughout this season, said Steve Hall. lt's a lot of work, but it's worth it! said David Cuellar who is ranked in state number sixty-one in singles and ten in doubles.
