The Warrior varsity tennis team captured second place last Saturday in the Maine West Invitational with Libertyville taking the first place honors. Eight other teams competed in the meet.

York, Glenbrook North, Fenton, Lake Forest, Elmwood Park, Niles North, and Libertyville were all present for the competition. The meet ended with the Warriors in a tie for second place with Glenbrook North. However, because of the doubles championship won by the team of Bob Wyatt and Dick Gearhardt, second was awarded to Maine West. Singles player Jeff English advanced to the third round but was defeated by the eventual winner from Libertyville.

On Apr. 23 the team traveled to Maine South and defeated the Hawks, 4‑1. Winners for the Warriors were Jeff English, 5‑7, 7‑5, 6‑3; Tom Gebhardt, 6‑1, 6‑0; John Minardi and Dick Gearhardt, 6‑2, 6‑7, 6‑3; and Ken Quinn and Jeff Cook, 6‑4, 7‑5.
