Lady Netters Capture District Crown In '86
Joe Jones couldn't be prouder of his Lady Aggie netters, as they sported six wins and one loss in district play, won the District 9 Tournament and went on to the National Tournament in Kansas City. "The hard work really paid off: the gals did a fine job," Jones said. At the District 9 Tournament Jones' crew defeated six teams to win the title. Cameron totalled 35 points. The next closest competitor, East Central, had 26 points.
Out of the six individual titles in the tournament, Cameron came home with three of the top honors. Individual winners included junior Sue Coons at the number 3 singles spot, freshman Kathy McCann at number 4 singles and freshman Trina Godsby at number 6 singles.
The doubles team of Coons and senior Morgan Pilkington placed first as did McCann and Godsby at number three doubles. Outstanding efforts were shown by the No. 1 singles player, Lori Anderson, and freshman Danya Wilson, Jones said. Anderson lost to the eventual district 9 champion from Centrral State, Jenny Bautista. Wilson was knocked out of contention for the top spot in a tough semifinals match. Anderson and Wilson lost in the final doubles match to East Central.
The District tournament was not the end of the Ags season. After some rest, the team was off to the national Tournament in Kansas City.
