RUSTY NORTON goes up for two in a losing u»v against the Heritage Cougars Friday night. Scholarships For Valley Youth Rotary WW vs. M-A Tourney This Saturday ss 5 Booster’s Club for a tennis ball machine. The Henderson and Haywood County teams already have such machines and Enka High School has ordered one. The machine is an invaluable practice aid which eliminates human error and inconsistency to “grooving” strokes at a set speed and spin. With the loss of team cap tain Dwight Hussey, Kathy May, and Doug Clark, the Warhorses only have three returning lettermen. John Daniels, Alan Crawford, and Jimmy Hensly are the returning lettermen. Junior John Daniels is the younger brother of Jim Daniels (all conference 1973), and Patsy Daniels (con ference champion 1974). He is the captain of the 1976 team and is consensus pick to be the Mountain Athletic Conference singles overall champion this year and next. John is a top college prospect and has already drawn much attention from surrounding college coaches. Junior Jim Hensly returns from winning year in singles. Jim attended summer tennis camp and is expected to fill some of the void left by graduating Seniors. Allen Crawford, a junior, is also expected to help more this year and has shown some improvement over last season. A new player who definitely shows tremendous promise is all-around good athlete Mary Ann Myers, a sophomore, who is an outstanding basketball and volleyball player as well.. It looks as if the National obsession with tennis is starting to catch on in the valley, because a number of outstanding Freshmen have signed up for tennis this year. Eric Skidmore, Marty Mc Clellan, Jodie Owen , Bobby Wilson,Scott Lowery, Susan Wheelon, and Matt Ashley are names to watch. The season will depend on how well these Freshmen develop and cope with competitive pressure. Roger Denny and George Foster are returning from last year’s team also and will add experience. This could be Owen’s year H_WITT for a conference title. Tuscola, long-time power, was hurt by graduation. T.C. Roberson and Hendersonville could be a factor depending on new team members and Brevard is always a surprise. The whole season could hingle on the Warhorses' double play which will probably be the decisive factor in most matches as well as the Conference title. We can only wait and see.
