Re-Cap of Boys Tennis Match - Banning vs. San Pedro 4/28/10

Congratulations again, to the Pilots tennis team for an incredible performance on "Senior Day," during the team's season finale vs. the Pirates.  The day was filled with many pre-game ceremonies & new traditions, as the Seniors definitely went out on a great note.

In singles, Miguel Pila mangaged to take 3 games in his match, yet it was Senior & 4-year player, Hernan Suarez, who had the performance of the day.  Hoping to avenge his defeat vs. Pedro's #1 in their matchup earlier in the season, Suarez started out dominant, easily winning the 1^st set, before a slight hiccup in the 2^nd.  In the 3^rd set however, he built an early 4-0 lead, yet it was not to be.  Despite his opponent's impressive comeback, Suarez played incredibly.  In addition, 2^nd-year player & fellow senior, Steve Chavez, jumped up the ranks to make his varsity debut, producing several deuce games during this exciting opportunity.

In doubles, Marcus Macias, and Senior & 2-year player, Kwang Lee, won their match easily in straight sets.  Seniors & both 2-year players, Joseph Mejia & Daniel Quiñonez, had a mix of dominance and intrigue as they shut out their opponents in the 1^st set, yet dramatically won the 2^nd in a very tight tie-break.  Another Senior & 4^th-year player, Justin Garcia, teamed up with Ryo Miralles & played a tremendous 2^nd set, forcing the tie-break and even building a 4-0 lead in that tie-break before finally faltering.

In JV/Exhibition action, Eric Mendez played & won a rare singles match, while Alex Chun & Kevin Reyes also dominated, ensuring the perfect season for the JV squad.

Congratulations Pilots on the season & good luck to the team as they await post-season news from the city-wide seeding meeting on Thursday!
