The paradisiacal weather continued Wednesday over San Marcos High School, which hosted the Channel League doubles tennis tournament.

Again, the best from each school came out to play. Most seeded teams had at least one tough round. Only one team, Ventura’s Brendan McClain and Michael Lowe, hardly struggled as they took down their opponents quickly and lost only three games in two rounds.

The Dos Pueblos High School team of Mason Casady and Peter Shao did well in taking the Santa Barbara High team of Logan Liddell and Mitchell Kuhn to three sets. We saw a lot of fiery shots and momentum shifts.

Once Liddell and Kuhn finished, they were on to another long battle against the powerful Royals team of Petar Jivkov and Travis Enholm. The Chargers’ team of Eric Katz and Sean Handley climbed back from a first set deficit of 0-3 to reach 4-5, but sprayed a few balls out, and Cooper Matthiesen and Graham Maassen took that set. The second set seesawed back and forth, with aggressive shotmaking from both sides, but “M and M” prevailed.
