MORAGA -On the bus trip the
day after UC Irvine's demoralizing 84-

coach Pat Douglass decided to go

freshman Mike Flevberha against
Saint Mary's -and it paid off.

first collegiate start and scored a
team-high 17 points 10 help lead the
Anteaters to a 62-50 victory over the

"It was jus\ kind of a hunch that I

said Efevberha. who was 4 of 9 from

Ethington and Okoro also started

court. recording a game-high five

Efevberha started in place of senior
Mike Hood. Ethington was starting.
while Adam Parada came off the
bench. and Okoro took the place of

the 14 weight classes as the Sail-

MAURY

Orange Coast College
Legendary coach will always be 'Mr. Tennis'
around the courts at Orange Coast College.
Roser Cart1on
Daily Pilot
T here is a certain pad
of past Orange Coast
College coaches
which forms the
nucleus of the Pirates'
corps that is of legendary status
when one ponders the Bucs and
their storied past on the
community college level.
Like Ocean's 11 , each a star in
his or her own right, as in Tandy
Gillis and Did Tucker. or Jack
Fullerton and Barbara Bond, or
Jane Hilgendorf and Fred
Hokanson. or Laird Hayes and
George Mattias, or Bill Workman
and Dave Grant.
Another in that mold is the
venerable Maurice "Maury"
Gerard, a tennis coach who put
the Pirates on the map. and kept
retired in 1976 (it was
mandatory then), recalls the real
strength of Gerard's game. which
was the knowledge or the game.
and the willingness to active!y
recruit the best he could find.
Among them were Rosetti of
F.stancia and Caro of Newport
Harbor, the Cunninghams
(Robbie and Lawrie) of Newport
Harbor, GJenn Morton from
F.stancia and run Mang from
Corona del Mar.
"You didn't find many on the
JC level with this kind of
knowledge, and a lot of the
coaches (on the other side of the
net) resented it." said Mattias.
·He took great pride in
beating them."
And always. honor was the
No. 1 priority.
Some 14 years later he would
come back to Coast for a brief
stint as the head them there for a long
time en route to his
selection as a ·
member of the Daily
Pilot's Sports Hall of
Fame, celebrating
the millennium.

somewhat of a

when he dominated
Mattias, known
mostly as a stalwart ......_ _____ __. in the football camp.
Maury Gerard went on to a
youth tennis for some seven
years. Gerard was the Central
California High School singles
champion in 1928 and
runner-up in singles at the 1928
State Olampionships.
A native of Ola.rleston, 01, he
would go on to various honors
at Pomona College and was in
the education field before
finding his way from Santa Ana
JC to OCC in 1957 as a
counseJor, professor of
psychology and tennis coach.
taking over for Ray Rosso in the
spring of 1958.
For the next 18 years he
Oourished as Coast's tennis
coach. guiding five teams to
conference crowns. capped by
the 15-0 1971 state
championship team which
swept the field. taking the team
championship. the singles crown
(Robbie Cunningham} and the
doubles tide (Atilio Rosetti and
Mike Caro).

in order to wort for Pete COCC

OCC administrator flm Carnett
for the schools 50th anniversary
program in 1998.
He had been Santa Ana's head
coach for 10 years. aod !or the
next 19 yurs at Coast. he never
once lost to Santa Ana. ,'m
rather proud of that," he told
Carnett.
George Mattias, who came
onto the tennis acene at Cout a
couple ofyeen after Gerard
uccessfuJ career at
Coast as the tennis coach and
said most of his techniques were
items which he had picked up
from Gena.rd.
•Tue thing is,· said Mattias,
·Maury could pick out
weaknesses and pass them on to
his players. He was a player as a
collqpan, and he played against
some of the best.
•No one knew more about the
game:
Rosetti, who as Coast's No. 1
player in 1971 when the Pirates
swept to the state
championship, recalled Gerard'•
presence in Hoylake, England.
where he was playing in a
tournament qualifier just alter a
run at Wunbledon in 71.
MMaury told me. Uld I really
considered it ln jest. that be was
going to come out to Europe
and see how I was doing," said
Rosetti.
"l was in Hoytake and there be
wa.s. He had rented a boat on the
Thames."
Rosetti recalled Gerard's
strength in the knowledge of
using court geometry and acore
management. as in when to
coast and when to tum it on.
"He undentood thole tbinp..
said Ro8etti. .. And be bung out
with us, he was really wooderfu1 .

On behalf of aU of the Daily Pilot employees, 1 want to wish you, our community, a happy and

you respond with kindness, care, concern and your pocltttboolts .
• When non-profas hold their annual fandraising ewnts ...
you support them with abundance .
• With our childrm, you don't just smd thnn to school .•
you prrwitk them with bonds to impT'OW tht structures, with
schol.arships for aavanad ui.ucational opportunitin, with c/4ssroom
programs that don't exist in other districts, with pmniu ban,J, drama,
sports and chm-leading programs (to na1'U a few) and with llfin'-school programs.
• When our smiors need a pl.act to meet ...
you offer them" host of programs and events throut h ~ ~Miutions_as tht
Cost11 Mesa Senior Cmtu and the Oasis Senior Cmter.
• When we dtdtkd a new library was in order ...
you mpondtd in a "million " dijfnmt ways.
