he Junior Varsity Tennis Team consisted of only seven players. They worked very hard to reach the goals that Coach Baca set for them. Although they on- ly played in one tournament, they worked hard throughout the year so that when they reach their place on the varsity team, they will be ready for the challenges that await them. Like freshman team, team members were on the exercise program. Even though Coach Baca demanded a little more achievement, the exercises were similar. While serving the ball, Tommy Barker gives it his all. ww ' s ,tml c 5 7 at wa Tommy Barker, Roy Parsons, Chris Stafford, Coach Baca, Audrey Martinak, Pat Traber, Alexandra Shahan, and Elizabeth Shahan make up the J.V. team. tiki? . v C A .. 2 A 2 in aw vw fwmwvmev i ,.,., . :. a , up .Ama Roy Parsons waits for the ball to return as Chris Stafford hits a backhand.

T he varsity team did well this year in both tournaments and in singles competition. Two players stood out as being ex- ceptional in singles competition. John Sullivan won single finals in Austin, Georgetown, Galveston, Victoria, and in district. He then moved up to regionals but was defeated in the second round. Nancy Jenkins won in the consolation bracket at Austin, reached the semi-finals in Galveston and Bryan, won the girls singles finals in Corpus Christi, and placed third in district. The team was on a strict exercise program which included lifting weights and running before and after school. When it came down to the test, all of their hard work payed off. Bryant Markette is sending one of his smashingserves. Ll ll l I Chyra Blackaller returns the serve with great force. Nancy Jenkins falls into 'W' this forehand with ease. . It's not all forehanding, backhanding and volleying: the team also doe share of exercises. 254 f tennis -1-ii
