Although the Chargers of Dos Pueblos High School and the Royals of San Marcos are crosstown rivals, there’s a lot of camaraderie between the two teams — as well as good, solid tennis.

Dos Pueblos’ 14-4 win on Tuesday doesn’t reflect the toughness of the match. No one took anything for granted.

In the first round, Austin Cano started a little slowly but picked up his pace and placement to overcome a deficit and beat Petar Jivkov (No. 69 B14s) in a long set. Even DP’s No. 1 team of Andy Silverstein and Eric Katz scrambled a bit before winning their first set against Jackson Foster and Parker Funk. In the second round, Christian Edstrom played tough against a rejuvenated Jivkov and eventually took him down 7-5.

In doubles, Malcolm Sutton and Sasha Gryaznov had a seesaw battle with Foster and Funk, but prevailed in the tiebreaker. In the third round, Peter Shao and Sean Simpson fought hard against Foster and Funk, but fell in a tiebreaker.

Way to go, Chargers! Dos Pueblos, 13-5 overall and 4-3 in league, will play away at Santa Barbara High on Friday.
