Coy Miller, were combining to . -win the final set of the day.

McKee said.Retirement for Immel might . be the key word for the rest of — the Sierra Foothill League which Nevada Union has dominated in tennis the past 54 years. Nevada Union has won five of six championships and appeared headed for another. Last season the Miners had a 39by a strong Del Oro squad. For Immel it has been a . fantastic coaching record. The Miners have won 100 and lost sixduring his reign and . times Nevada Union could well be known as the tennis kings of high school sports. . “There, did you see that,” Immel said. ‘‘Truman isn’t using that overhead shot the way he’s supposed to. He can’t hit that overhead. eS “We got some good material coming up, we’re going to be strong for four more years,” Immel said. ‘Coy Miller is going to be hard pushed to hang-on to / that number five spot.’’ “Look at that shot by Coy will you, he’s playing better today,” Immel said as Miller ended the “doubles match and Nevada Union had a 7-0 win. “Atta boy Coy, you looked better today, you did all right,” the coach said as Miller walked off the court.

Marysville 7-0 and that should tell you something. Something is screwy, I’m going to tell those guys from Sacramento tonight.” Immel said Nevada Union could wipe out some of the ranked teams, referring to Marysville, Jesuit and Yuba City. He did say that Rio Americano with Dick Metz playing number one deserved ‘the top spot. Metz is considered the best high school player in northern California. What’s behind a coach with a 100-6 record? “TI mostly leave the kids alone and I let them play a lot,” said Immel. His theory is to put them on the court and let them play. Immel doesn’t go for the flashy stuff on the court and emphasizes_ consistent play. ‘Double faults will kill you,” he ' Nevada Union wasn’t mensays. After that first shot my players put the ball in there and play the game. The kids have the talent and I just want them to use it in the right way.
