The Dos Pueblos High School boys’ tennis team battled through the wind, the cold, plus a few injuries on Wednesday and prevailed, posting a 16-2 win over Cate.

In singles, Sean Handley played the match of his life in sweeping his singles 6-4, 6-0, 6-0. His contest with Blake Mackall in the first round was incredible; both players produced a variety of shots, endured long rallies and fired up well-placed “bullet” serves. Patrick Corpuz took two sets at 6-0, and Sam Boulanger, new to our singles’ lineup, took two solid sets as well.

In doubles, we made a clean sweep. Mason Casady won with two different partners, Joshua Wang and Ankush Khemani, and dropped only four games. Similarly, Greg Steigerwald did the same with his two partners. His partner, Alex Yang, had to step out after the first round with a sore back, and Andrew Tufenkian stepped in.

The sportsmanship between the two teams was outstanding. We also appreciate the crowd support. Way to go, Chargers!

Next up for the Chargers is an away league match at San Marcos High School on Thursday. We hope it does not rain.
