JV
Girls Tennis
by Brittany Brinkman
The upcoming tennis season should be full of fun, success, and of
course hard work. With tough match ups, two matches a week, and practice
everyday these girls will be all fired up for their hopeful season.
This year the tennis program is welcoming Terry Cress
as the new J.V. coach. Last year he began helping the varsity players
a few days a week. Now the J.V. team has a dedicated coach that can
really challenge their skills and natural talents. His many years
of experience are going to bring new opportunities to this team.
The tennis season began on August 15 when the girls spent their last
summer days training hard. As school came around the J.V. team continued
to practice in the grueling summer heat. Their first practice match
took place on September 8 against Los Altos High School. Playing this
game helped the girls get into the routine of hitting hard, traveling
far, and working together. The J.V. team’s first league match occurred
on September 22 against Sacred Heart Cathedral. Naturally a tough
opponent, the J.V. girls competed with class and a competitive spirit.
The J.V team attracted many fans and fellow classmates to their first
home match. Coach Cress enjoyed seeing his girls work hard and have
fun. Even though they did not nab a victory, the team played extremely
well and is looking forward to beating this team the next time around.
Seeing some wins in their future the J.V. girls cannot wait to get
back out there. Erin Parker said, “I really enjoy
playing tennis with all my friends and I love all the new friends
I have made. We all work so hard at after school practices and hopefully
our hard work will pay off with many victories.” This team is looking
forward to a fun and victorious season.

Shakespeare, Where Art
Thou?
For some people, spending eight hours on a bus seems like some new
type of torture. Everyone going on the 11th Annual Oregon Shakespeare
Festival trip, though, saw things a little differently.
Coming prepared, all the students had some sort of diversion from
the drive; the neon glow of iPods, cell phones, and even a Pokémon
gameboy, poured out of people's seats and into the aisle.

Two '100 Year' Storms
Devastate Gulf Coast
Two monster storms, aptly called 100 year storms, savaged the Gulf
Coast last month. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita swept in from the waters
of the Gulf of Mexico. As winds began to blow, reporters gave horrific
forecasts of what was to come. Hurricane Katrina, a category 4 (intensity
level out of 5), devastated much of the United States along the Gulf
Coast.

the West Catholic League. Senior Andrew Kikuta and
Junior Jonathan Langdon are this year's team captains.
