Although the Miners have only three regulars returning retur-ning from last year's squad, they wasted little time in demolishing Mt. Vernon with five straight-set victories. Mt. Vernon won only seven games in the 10 sets. The Number One singles player for Park City this year is sophomore Darrick Olsen. He started off on the right foot Tuesday with a 6-0, 6-2 victory.

"We're much younger and much less experienced," ex-perienced," Miner Coach David Chaplin noted. '"It's kind of an uncharted path we're going to run this year. "But we've been practicing prac-ticing since January, so we've had the opportunity to improve." Chaplin said some of the players have made great strides since last season. "Darrick (Olsen) has really improved immensely in the last year," he said. "This summer he worked very hard at improving his game. Gil Holmes has done the same thing. He's a very strong player. All the guys have improved noticeably since last year." He said the lack of experience ex-perience in the younger players is balanced by their obvious enthusiasm for the game. Last season. Park City finished second in Region 11 to St. Joseph. And Chaplin expects to face tough opposition op-position from that team again. "Usually we also have pretty strong competition from South Summit and Dugway," he added. The Miners' next scheduled match is April 10 at North Rich. The games will be played outdoors if the weather permits. Otherwise they will be played at Sweetwater's Bear Lake indoor in-door courts. Chaplin pointed out that the Miners also have the advantage ad-vantage of being able to practice indoors at the Racquet Club. "We really wouldn't have a tennis team if it weren't for them," he said. The club provides the courts free of charge to the high school team.
