JV Girls Tennis M»«v be » d to Despite a slow start, JV Girls Tennis were able to play ahead nder pressure and looking from behind would take a toll on some people. In the case of the Girls JV Tennis team, they were able to come from behind and walk away with the win. ' The toughest game we had was against North- view, said Coach Greg Dutton. The team was down 1-5 in the first round and figured they had lost it. We were really scared, but we held on. said Shir- ley Tokuda, top doubles player. By the end of the third round, the score was 9-9 in sets. It came down to single games, which gave Walnut the win with a final score of 9-9. (84-81). Led by top players Ca- mille Maldonado. who earned the Coach ' s Award, and Christina Miano, who was named Most Valuable Player, the squad was able to finish second in the Valle Vista League. We couldn ' t compete in the Sierra League, but we can play in the Valle Vista League, said Coach Dutton. The team finished with a 12-2 record; their hard work paying off with a to- tal of 228 games won and only 78 lost. This was the third year of coaching for Dutton, who thought only the best of his girls. This is by far ▼ WITH PERFECT FORM, fresh- man Linda Ibanez executes a forehand. Linda played varsity tennis in the second round. the best team I ' ve ever coached, and ever will, said Dutton. Practicing toward the end of the summer and throughout the season gave the squad a chance to get to know each other. We ' re like a family, and everyone was really close, said Tina Miano. The closeness of the team seemed to be an indica- tion that future years would follow the example of the 1986 Valle Vista League Champions. story by Julie Wishner: layout by Robert Davis: photos by Jack Elliott t T A PERFECT TOSS, Lily Chen is positioned to served the ball.
