He wanted to balance the fundings out of the football team and even it out with the other mayfair sports. However his idea was not nearly as successful as he wanted, he was able to convince the superintendents to upgrade the tennis courts and validate their sport until the 2011 year.

CIF player of the year
In the 2006 year following his ASB president run, deciding not to run this year, Corey put his priotity into winning a CIF championship with Mayfair's Boys tennis. In that year he started on varsity as singles number 2 and averaged 14 aces per match. and also had the highest win percentage in the school district. He helped Mayfair win its first Subarban title since 2001 and defeated alumni rival Cerritos. They sucess led them to a quarterfinal debut in the CIF, but were not off by Christian High School. However in that year Corey Gaines was honored as the tenth student in Mayfair to be named CIF player of the year, and first to be named CIF Tennis player of the year. He also helped Mayfair being recognized as a California Distinguished School, the highest award a California high school can obtain. In 2001, Mayfair received the Golden Bell award from the California School Board Association for their Academy of Animation and Digital Art Program.
Rankings
