Carpinteria High’s No. 2 singles player Jeremy Saito swept his three sets and the doubles team of Sam Truax of Jacob Ascencio rallied from an 0-3 deficit to win its first-round match en route to three wins Thursday, but the Warriors dropped a 12-6 decision to Pacifica in a season-opening boys tennis match.
“Although some of the other players or doubles teams did not win, I was excited to see their determination and progress as the sets and team match went on,” said coach Charles Bryant.
“Our non league schedule is tough but I am hoping we will be doing a lot of learning without getting too discouraged this season,” Bryant added.
