Cate boys tennis couldn’t get it done on Wednesday in its first-round CIF Division 2 match against Arroyo Grande, as the Rams fell, 13-5, on the road.
Rams no. 1 singles Ethan Ha finished on a high note by winning all three of his sets. But Cate couldn’t keep up with Arroyo Grande’s depth and won only two other sets.
“We are a young team with five first-year varsity players and six starters in just 10th grade,” coach Jason Saltoun-Ebin said. “Everyone gave it all they had but A.G. was just too much.”
Ha’s individual season will continue May 24 in the CIF individual sectionals.
