1986 Miracle Yearbook

Rebuilding and Recruiting T his year's tennis season started with many questions. It was labeled early in the season as a rebuilding year with three freshmen, Dan Jones, Shaun Adair, and Russell "Tank" McNamara in starting positions. The team suffered two early losses to district rivals Walsh and Bluffton. After maturing by playing many solid competitors, the team avenged its loss with Walshby tying for the co-championship of the MOC. Later in the season without the service of Jones and number one player Therm Payton, Cedarville beat rival Bluffton in a 6-3 dual match. Greg Frank compiled the best individual record. He was closely followed by Jones, McNamara, and senior Frank Terkelson. The season ended with a disappointing finish at the district tournament. With some fine recruiting, the team will do well next year. Greg Frank Above: Coach Murdoch gives performance points as each .-?ember of the team listens carefully.
