As tennis season rolls around
this year, Mercer will have two
teams to root for instead of one.
In addition to the boys’ netters,
Mercer will host its First girls'
team.
Actually, Mercer had no idea
that it would have a-girls’ team
this yearl It just happened to
work out that way. First of all,
Barbara Banister was recruited
in hope that she could make one
of the top six positions on the
boys’ team.
It’s perfectly legal for a girl to
play on a boy’s team in our
conference, hyt until now we
couldn't find a girl gbod enough
to qualify for our starting six,”
boys’ head tennis coach Leslie
Peek said.
But When Coach Peek -saw
Barbara of North Springs High
os Atlanta compete in last
year’s state tournament in
Macon, he thought she could
defenitley fill one of the top six
positions.
So Barbara arrived on the
scene at Mercer expecting to
play for the boys’ team. But to -
Mercer’s amazement top-notch

Dun enrolled at Mercer too.
Hence, Mercer unexpectedly
ends up with a talented girls'
team which will be coached by
Miss Brenda Smith. While these
four girls will fill the top four
positions, Miss Smith has a pick
of a least ten other girls trying
out for the team to fill the fifth
and sixth slots. ,
The boys’ team is also an
ticipating a fine team since it
will be returning four let-
termen: Charles Bowen-co-
captain, Mitchell Schwaber -
co-captain, Tim Anderson, and
Steve Cotter.
The team's chances for a fine
season will also be boosted a
great deal with such freshman
as Frank Flournoy, Joe
Soistiman, and Brock Field.
With talent such as this, the
boys' team expects to better
their record of 12-7 last year.
"We have a good chance to go
underfeated," co-captain
Mitchell Schwaber said.
