Regarding our series on The Greatest Athletes, Clair Bentzel writes:
Spring Grove also had some outstanding tennis players which you failed to mention in your article of "Best Rockets". One of them was Carrie Bentzel Trimmer, who won three consecutive YCIAA titles and two District 3 titles plus a 40-0 league record. Also, she and her mixed doubles partner Kevin Scott won three state mixed doubles tennis championships. She received a full scholarship to Syracuse University.
Some other notable Spring Grove tennis players were Craig Diehl, Ken Grove, Glen Shaffer, Bam Landis and probably a few I don't recall. They had all had an outstanding coach in Gary Gault, who would delight in telling you about them if he were still with us.
