PREP PREVIEW ’92 / GIRLS’ TENNIS : SIX TEAMS TO WATCH : CORONA DEL MAR

Coach: Ellen Bryant (first year).

1991: 14-5, 10-0 in league; won Sea View League title; lost to Dana Hills in the second round of the Southern Section Division 4-A playoffs.

Key returners: Marcie Asch, Jr., will play No. 1 singles; Jenny Glasgow, So., will play doubles; Heather Nelson, Jr., set at No. 3 singles; Kristine Winton, Jr., will contribute with her experience in doubles; Christine O’Meara, So., another doubles specialist.

Key newcomers: Alicia Boice, Jr.; Teresa Brenner, Jr.; Ranee Rhodes, So.; Megan Wachtler, Fr.; Christina Walden, Fr.

Outlook: A new coach unfamiliar with the well-balanced Sea View League takes over the Corona del Mar program, but the Sea Kings remain the team to beat. Bryant, who has never coached a high school team, inherits a squad with no seniors but with a lot of depth. “I’m really impressed with the girls. They really want to work hard,� Bryant said. Keep an eye on Wachtler, one of the top junior players in Southern California, who will play No. 2 singles.
