OUTLOOK: After an impressive overall record last season, head coach Jeff Trainer said he expects this team to be competitive in all of its league matches. The Trojans were second only to North Kitsap in the league last year. Other than his No. 1 singles and doubles, Trainer said the biggest weakness he sees is a lack of experience. Although Olympic is athletic from top to bottom and he expects junior varsity athletes to make vast improvements, he confided that some of his athletes “are very raw.”
