The NCSSM 1993-1994 women's tennis team is doing
fairly well in their season. With only one week of play
remaining, they hold a 6 win, 7 loss record. Ehaal team and
individual regionals will come up next, at the end of October.
Tracy Moldin, captain of this year's tennis team, says, "This
termis team is bonded with a lot of spirit and a good attitude.
Even after losses, we know we've done our best. They keep us
working hard, but we
don't let them
get us down."
"The team is
fairly young, with only
3 returning seniors,"
says coach Warren Bas
ket. "Everyone has a
different level of per
formance, but we're
adjusting well to each
others' strengths and
weaknesses."
Manager
Pete Lee says, "The
team has a lot of good
players and potential,
and we should be win
ning a lot more
matches; they've all
been really close."
One problem has been the players' attendance at
practices and matches, but they are trying to work through this.
"I don't usually get my homework started imtil 9:00 or 9:30 on
game days," says Meredith Small, a junior on the team. "I think
it's really going to catch up with me sooner or later!"
Yet, despite the losses, the wins have been sweet. "It
feels good to beat a team 9-0 and finish them off by 6:00. It feels
real good!" says Moldin.
"I think the most important thing is that everybody
gets along really well. It helps to keep the team spirit up," says
Megan Stanley, another junior on the team.
"I feel really good about our performance so far this
year," says Mary Williams. "The NCSSM tennis team is actually
really cool."

Volleyball '93 Continued front Page 9
Wins over teams such as previously mentioned Louisburg
could accomplish this objective for the 1993 season, and of
course, would offer the opportunity for continued success as
the title "State Champs" ring in the ears of the teammates.
When asked about the Conference Tournament
that takes place over Fall Break (October 11 & 13), team
captain Nancy Helms replied, "We have a good chance of
wiiming it all, if we can keep our serves in and be able to nm
our plays correctly." She belives their biggest competitors at
the tournament to be Louisburg and Franklinton.
The accomplishment competing in the state tourna
ment, let alone the winning of it would not only make these
ladies proud and respected , but would also enable the
realization surroimding our school to be enacted as this
would be yet another example of the proper chemistry
brewing at NCSSM of academics in cooperation with athletics
. So show your support to these athletes with your attendance
at as many games as possible empowering them to attain
continued success in the future. Go Uni's!
