came the first Wildcat tennis

years.
The Wildcat duo will join

The highlight of the region-
al finals came in the mid point
of the match.
The Wildcat team had swept
to that easy 6-0 first set tort-
umph, but suddenly Grant and
Brim found themselves trail-
ing 2-4 in the second set.
Then came five straight
game victories as the Wild-
cats broke through the Brown-
wood team’s service twice to
not only win the second set
6-4, but move into a 1-0 land in
the third set, Me Lea* and
Johnson carried their next ser-
vice, but the Sulphur Spring*
team roared back to break
through on their opponent*1
service twice more while hold-
ing their own three times.
The mid « point faltering by
the Cats was described partly
as due to considerable stalling
and halting of play by the

P Bat the superiority of" the
Wildcat duo was clear. In the
match Grant and Brim broke
through opponents’ service aev-
en times, whil* losing on their
own service but once, that in
that .second set.
Since Brim, unexperienced
in tournament play, has team-
ed with Grant, who was in the
regional meet last year, the
Sulphur Springs team has not
lost a set on the courts.
