Dos Pueblos hosted its Channel League match against powerhouse Santa Barbara, ranked third in CIF Division I. Wind and fatigue did not really affect the match, which the Dons won 13-5. Everyone played hard and to the best of his ability Thursday.

The Dons (8-3 overall, 4-0 in league) proved too deep in doubles and swept every set. The Chargers (8-2, 3-1) came close in one set when Peter Shao an Eric Zmolek took four games. Dos Pueblos won its five sets in singles, where Sasha Gryaznov swept, and Richard Cheng and Christian Edstrom each contributed a set. Although he lost, Cheng had an exciting set with Billy Grokenberger. Official Harry Van Besoyen, fans and coaches mingled well (even extending birthday wishes to the two Chargers coaches) and both teams displayed outstanding sportsmanship.

Dos Pueblos hosts San Marcos on Monday.

Way to go Chargers!
