1995 PREP PREVIEW / GIRLS’ TENNIS : SIX TEAMS TO WATCH : LAGUNA BEACH

Coach: Bob Walton (10th year).

1994: 24-1 overall, 10-0 in the Pacific Coast League; won third consecutive Southern Section Division II championship with 12-6 victory over Los Alamitos in the finals.

Key returners: Michelle Bray, No. 1 singles, second team Times’ all-county selection, league singles champion, Sr.; Sarah Cohen, singles and doubles, Sr.; Trini Jessoe, doubles, So.; Summer Terry, doubles, So.; Lindsay Weiss, No. 2 singles, league doubles champion, Sr.; Kim Woodhouse, doubles, So.; Vanessa Zajfen, singles and doubles, Jr.

Key newcomers: Kim Allen, doubles, So.; Mandi Carlyle, doubles, So.; Jenny Fenwick, doubles, So.; Amy Halla, doubles, So.; Chelsey McMahon, doubles, So.; Suzy Powers, doubles, Jr.

Outlook: Laguna Beach will miss Amanda Hastings-Phillips, who chose not to play high school tennis her senior year, but the Artists are still deep. “We might have had the best team we’ve ever had with Amanda, but we’ll be tough,” Walton said. The doubles teams will be improved, but Bray has been nursing a sore back all summer.
