What a way for the Dos Pueblos High School JV boys tennis team to finish the season, with a close and competitive match Wednesday with Santa Barbara High School’s JV by snagging seven sets, with SBHS winning 11-7.
In singles, we had Garret Foreman, Jeffrey McDaniel, Kevin Wang and Davide Gerli.
The Chargers took four sets. A long battle ensued in the last round when Foreman outlasted William Belfiore in a tight set and took another long set in the second round. McDaniel had a long set in his second round loss against Tyler Greenwald. Wang and Gerli also took a set each.
In doubles, the Chargers took three sets. Jason Lee and Ryan Mintzer took two of their three sets. Ryan O’Gorman and Yanick Koster dug deep to pull out a 7-5 win in the first round.
We are proud of the JV Chargers for their top-notch performance this season. We are also impressed with the sportsmanship between the two teams and their coaches.
