Veferoi BY JOHNNY CRAIG The return of a half-dozen veterans plus the addition of one talented newcomer give West Brunswick boys tennis coach Jerry Small an optimistic outlook towards the Trojans spring campaign. The Trojans return a bulk of players from last year's 14-1 team that went 12-0 in Waccamaw 2-A Conference play to win their fifth league nut* in seven years. Top-ranked senior Bryan Cheers returns after having teamed with graduated Robin Dale to win the regional doubles championship a year ago. The Trojans went on to win their second consecutive 1-A?2-A regional team title last spring. Greg Bland, another loss to graduation from a year ago. also won the regional singles championship. We are fairly equal talent-wise this season from the number two position all the way down to the number six spot." said Small. T feel fortunate to have such balance." Cheers begins his fourth year with the Trojan tennis program following brothers Barry and Brad as top West Brunswick net performers. Bryan is a solid number one player for us and will also see extensive action in doubles play as well." Eddie Jones, another senior, is listed at the number two position.

Number three Raymond Howard is the Trojans top newcomer. In his first year on the team, Howard i sophomore i has been quite an asset to the team according to Small. Another sophomore, Jamie Wilson, is currently in the fourth singles spot. "Jamie is currently playing as good as I've ever seen him play. I expect him to continue to move up in the lineup. He is capable of playing at the number two or three position," added Small. Junior Mike Marshall returns for u;,- ? -? *?? ?? ? ino tiuiu >cui ui uie numuer live spot. Marshall is more consistent this spring and will hopefully challenge for a higher position in the lineup. "Mike is a solid player and progressing every day. 1 look for him to move up a few spots on the singles ladder." Martin Bolick, another junior, is playing at the number six position. Bolick is in his third year on the Trojan team and is up from his seventh spot from last season. New to the team are freshman Wendell Cheers and junior Mitchell Jones. Jones is listed at number eight and was discovered by a West Brunswick physical education instructor. "Mitchell is new to tennis but picks things up very well. We will continue to come around," added Small. Cheers is another newcomer to the game but has lots of desire to learn and improve.
