, This year was a transition year for us, said tennis coach Don Bohling. We had a lot of underclassmen who were out for the first time, he explained. Senior Noel Lawrence and junior Greg Woods were the only returning members from last year's squad. - The ten netmen ended their dual matches with a 2-6 record. They began the season facing the defending Class B state champions, Pius X, and lost 0-9. They also faced and lost to such formidable opponents as Crete, Kearney Catholic, Columbus, and Beatrice. Their two wins came when they beat Gresham, 8-1, and Boys Town, 4-3. The team members were disappointed with their showing at the state tournament in Lincoln. York's entries were: lst Singles, Lawrence, 2nd Singles, Woods, lst Doubles, Scott Bell and Jeff Snyder, 2nd Doubles, Scott Steinmetz and Dave Good. All of them lost in the first round. Those netmen lettering were Lawrence, Woods, Bell, Snyder, Steinmetz, Good, Todd Ott, and Robert Kulhanek. I am really looking forward to next season, coach Bohling said. The team will be much more experienced. by Noel Lawrence ..., . .. 4 5.25 ,.. 5,-v fAboveJ Todd Ott, sophomore, serves to a Gresham player. we 'M CAbove Rightl Lunging forward to return a shot is Scott Bell. gggl A fR1ghtJ Senior Noel Lawrence anticipates his opponent's serve. is ,, sri ,gg if 60 Boys' Tennis .

X Injuries plague x-country team 3422 I is 1 , 'gas M i ga, E a HK The cross country team was a pack of 13 different people who had at least one thing in common--sore feet. Practices generally ranged from four to ten miles a day, sometimes divided into two-a-days. In the morning, the team would Indian- run through dark and misty Beaver Creek Park and wind up back at York's Country Club as the sun came up. After school, the team would meet at the track for warm-ups and weights, after which they would run more miles. Not having any men qualify for state was a letdown for the team and for coach Phil Towle who said that that hadn't happened in ten years. Injuries and inconsistency seemed to plague the runners. Top runner Ivan Keller had a minor motorcycle accident shortly before the conference meet which kept him from running because of a knee injury. He managed an eighth place finish at districts, but that wasn't enough to get him to state. Before the accident, Ivan had garnered first in almost all meets. Senior Joe Waller and junior John Hamling were sidetracked with ankle injuries. Three determined girls were out for cross country. One short of having a team, the girls ran as individuals during the season. Unlike the boys, the girls didn't have to qualify for state and ran in a field of 135. Senior Karla Fillman placed in the top 50, with the others not far behind. by Karla Fillman 62 Cross C0ul1try . ra +-rf.. if , a I if .. 6 t ,.. is . 5 1 'Jw kg.
