lthough the varsity girls' tennis team was unable to repeat their CIF champion- ship from last year, the players had a very successful season with only two losses overall. We have liked to repeat the CIF championship, said Coach Anne Meigs, Hbutiwe played as well as we could have. We were just outplayed in the final match. Only defeated once in league play, the team was recognized as 'Co-League Champion,' a shared title with Poway. Experience was a positive factor on the team this season. A number of girls had been on the team for three or more years. There were quite a few sophomores this year who were new to the team, so it was good to have the leadership of the girls who had the experience and maturity to provide it, said Meigs. The major problem with the tennis program at Torrey Pines is the facility. We had to finish two of our matches away from school, and find courts with lights, and that's ridiculous when you start at 2:00, said Meigs. Due to the unlighted facility, the girls were limited in practice time to one and a half hours as opposed to the regular three hours that most other teams practice. The girls had to learn how to maximize their effort into a limited amount of time, said Meigs. On the team, each player was expected to play to the best of her ability, striving for complete committment, and with these expectations, the team was almost unbeatable. Next season, the girls will have to continue without standouts, Linda Allred and Tina Trumbull who will be graduating, but many excellent players will be return- ing according to Meigs. We're losing some excellent seniors, admitted Meigs, but we have some very fine players returning. Meigs will also look to the junior varsity team for potential varsity players. The junior varsity team had a great year this year. There were some girls who went undefeated on the team. Perhaps with the strength ofthe returning players, and the solid players mov- ing up from the junior varsity team, the varsity tennis team will be able to re- capture the CIF crown they left behind this season. - Lora Stowe FOLLOWING THROUGH, Katherine Newcomb fires a backhand shot over the net during a home match against San Dieguito. mmbefl ring: alenf llarsity Tennis.

Often times this experience begins when the athlete is very young and begins taking tennis lessons at the country club, following in the footsteps of parents. Such was not the case for senior Tina Trumbull. Trumbull began her tennis career in Pheonix, Arizona when she began high school. After only two years of play in Arizona, she had already been recognized on her team as a standout. In herjunior year, Trumbull moved to California where she began playing on the Torrey Pines varsity tennis team. Even among some of the most tal- ented tennis players in the county, Trumbull again, emerged as a top player and proved invaluable to the team. She earned such titles as Most Valuable Player and the prestigious title Blade Tribune Athlete of the Week. Motivated by a strong love for the sport and a drive to compete, Trumbull spends the majority of her time perfect- ing her game. Twice each week, she travels to Rancho California where she takes lesson, and on weekends, she plays in tournaments. l love the competition in tennis, and Trumbull. lt's really challenging trying to be the best at what you do. - Lora Stowe WOMEN'S TENNIS 63

FALCON EXPRESS RECCRD he varsity boys? basketball team was mediocre last season, butthis season the Falcons were the F A surprise team ofthe Palomar League. By the end ofthe regular season, only Mt. Carmel had a better record than they did. New game strategies and a whole new style of play, adopted by the varsity basketball team last year, paid off this year as their record skyrocketed to a high of 9-3. at ,ffMy strategy is a quick game with a lot of quick decisions, said Farrell. You live and die by those decisions. T A With more aggressive play and a great deal of running, more ofthe players are given the chance to play. Everyone has their own style of play, commented Farrell. This one just suits me best. The new style of play seemed to have suited the team best also, as scores had been elevated from last year's. 1 T . ln previous years, shot Selection was a lot more critical tothe game and that made- the scores lower, Farrell ex- plained. Standouts on the team who were awarded the presti- gious title First Team All-League were senior guard Scot Thompson and 6-8 sophomore center Kevin Flanagan. Thompson led the team with 14 points per game and con- sistently contributed strong rebounding. Flanagan, who averaged about 10 points per game led the team in rebounding and estabiished himself as one of the best defensive centers in the league. 'Rounding out the honorable mentions were sophomore Courtie Miller, and junior guard Tom Underwood. Coached by Ken Bauman, The junior varsity basketball team finished up the season with a 6-6 record in league play. The team was lead by fonward Mark Wright who was named MVP, and Dan .l-iarilt, who led the team in assists and defensive play. at it T -- Lora Stowe 4 MENS FBABKETBALL Boy's Varsity Basketball.
