Among the new Aztecs will be Ri- cardo Herrera of Odessa Community College m Texas, ranked No. 3 in the nation; left-hander Matt Rivera of Las Vegas' Bishop Gorman High, the top-ranked player in the Inter-Moun- tain Region and a rival of USD sig- nee Bradley; and Dax Peterson of Santa Ana Mater Dei. Bream also has received a verbal commitment from one of the top three community college players m Southern Califor- nia. "We should have a very deep team next year," said Bream, whose top three players return (Joe McDo• nough, Tole Marinkovic and Woody Yocum). "We're hoping to be where USO 1s next year, and that's the NCAA Championships." Plunkett and Bream have sched- uled four one-week camps for June 19-23 and 26-30, and July 10-14 and 17-21. The fee is $140 for advanced juniors rn the 10-17 age bracket and $110 for adults or Juniors in the be- ginner and intermediate divisions. Participants can reduce the price by $10 if they register by Thursday. To do so, call 594-6505 or write Bream at San Diego State, 92182. Zuniga back - St Augustine sen- ior Marco Zuniga, who has been both- ered by back problems mo t of this season, missed the City Central League championships two weeks ago, but said h will compete in the section singles tournament on Wednesday. He 1s eeded No. 1. Teammate Ignacio Martinez, a jun- ior and the league champion. is the No. 2 seed. Although he 1s seeded sev- enth, Mt. Carmel senior Gene Cars- well could make a run for the title. He lost in three sets to Zuniga at Ojai and led the Sundevils to the 3A team title Thursday.

Some even say the sound of 5,000 Georgians screaming "Dawgs," "Choke," or, "Woof . . . Woof ... Woof," is music to their ears, that such enthusiasm enlivens college tennis. Since 1977, the NCAA men's team tennis championships have been in Athens, at the University of Georgia. That 12-year streak ends next year, when Indian Wells will host the tour- nament. To say Dick Leach will be happy is to ay Donald Trump has an ego. Leach hates Athens. Athens hates Leach. The fun started in 1987, when top- eedtd US -wa all bu a hoo-in for its ninth national title and first under Leach. Then came the semifinals, when USC put its 30-0 record on the line against Georgia, one of USC's previous victims. Leach not only endured the hooting of Dawgs fans, who considered the Trojans spoiled, prettified Yankees, but he watched his team lose, 5-4. Further, Leach's son, Rick, lost to Furman's Ned.Caswell as the Georg- ia fans yelled for their fellow South• erner. In the parking lot afterward. Rick Leach snapped. He jumped on the car of a heckler, brandished a racket and yelled "Come on, you want me to kill you?" Said Dick Leach. whose words appeared in Sports Illustrated: 'We've been taking this crap for five days. You're all a bunch of sickos. All Southerners can go tQ hell." The mutual ennuty still was pres- ent earlier this month, said Ed Col- lins, the coach at USO and a friend of Leach.

When the USO team, making its first appearance in the tournament, walked into an Athens hotel lobby, a stranger wanted to know where the players were from. "The guy thought we said USC in- stead oHJiD, and he started cussing us out," said Collins, chuckling with wonderment. No doubt that fan was at Georgia's match, when the Bulldogs beat USC, 5-1 The end of a legacy year's OSD team the best he's coached in his 11 seasons, but next year the Tor r could be as good, he said. The three players who won sin- gles matches in their second-round loss to UC Irvine - freshman Jose Luis Noriega and jumors Chris Toomey and Dan Mattera - return. Kevin Bradley, a left-hander from Las Vegas who won the Nevada state title last year, has signed a scholar- ship agreement with USO. And Tommy Phanco, last year's CIF-San Diego Section runner-up from The Bishop's School, has obtained his re- lease from Miami, where he was the No. 5 player, and has applied at USO, Collins said. Aztec, update - San Diego State women·s coach Carol Plunkett quick- ly removed the sting of losing her top two players, Sondra Mitchell and Kristen Hill, by signing Samantha Ewart of Sydney, who is Australia' No. 2 player m the 18 age group. Hugh Bream, the first-year men's coach whose team went 14-18 and finished third in the Western Athletic Conference, had "an exceptional re- Add USO - Collins rated this

He's got the personality you want in the finals "We might need that Wednes- day because Carlsbad has a solid team. They have great pitching, they hit the ball, they're solid at first and second base and the catcher has a great arm." "But this is a funny team," said Pimentel. "I've never had a team like this before . The guys can be at each other's throats in prac- l!ce, calling each other names. But we come together in the games. "I'm anxious to play Wednes- day.
