Boys' tennis team
enters tournament
For the tennis team, it was a
very good season. According to
Julian Amaya, “This is the best
season that we’ve had for the
last four years. One of the high
lights of this season is the fact
that we are the only school in
the district to send both singles
and doubles to the state tourna
ment.
Jeff Golden, a senior and the
tennis captain, will be partici
pating in singles. He captured
third place in the district. This
is the first year that he has par
ticipated in a state match. Soph
omores Ramon Corona and
Lance Zaklan are participating
in doubles.
The team came in second in
the district, losing only to Wil
son. They lost one match by one
point.
The state tennis tournament
will be held in Corvallis today
BBM| and tomorrow. “We will be rep
resenting the league pretty much
I* too,” stated Coach Amaya.
Jeff Golden commented, “I’m
really happy to go. I didn’t think
I’d get that far.”
During the season, Coach
Amaya felt that the toughest op
ponents were Cleveland, 3-2;
Benson, 4-1; and Wilson, 2-3.
