Local teams dominated the All-Channel League girls tennis teams this season, including six San Marcos Royals on the First Team and Dos Pueblos’ Ellie Triplett winning the league’s MVP award.
Triplett, a junior, was a force in singles play all season long as she cruised through league play. Her season was capped off by a loss in the Channel League single championship to her teammate Mel Mayo.
Mayo was the lone other Charger on the league’s First Team.
The Royals were well represented when it came to the best of the best, as Mina Yazadzhiev, Victoria Chow, Helena Manar, Bridget Cunison, Sydney Posch and Jolie Mardiat graced the All-Channel League First Team.
It was well deserved for San Marcos, who finished a perfect 15-0 in Channel League play.
Santa Barbara High had four players named to the All-League First Team, with Nicole Buist, Caitlyn Buist, Ella Weathers and Mary Moses all earning the honor.
The Buist sisters won the league’s doubles title over Weathers and Moses.
In total, 11 of the 12 players on the All-Channel League First Team were from Santa Barbara area schools, with the final player being Rio Mesa’s Chandra Padua.
