Re-Cap of 4/23/12 Boys Tennis Match - Banning vs. Gardena

Congratulations to the Boys Tennis Team for a magnificent effort in the 2^nd match of a double-header.  After defeating Washington earlier in the day, the team had vengeance on its mind, as in the team's 1^st round contest vs. Gardena back in March, the Pilots barely missed out on a victory.  This day would be a day of atonement.  However, it was not to be.

In singles, Manuel Leon dominated his match in straight sets, shutting his opponent out in the 2^nd.  JoeAnthony Rodriguez battled again, but again came up short.  Ryo Miralles continued his streak of impressive play and actually led 5-4 in both the 1^st and 2^nd sets, yet was unable to close it out in either.

In doubles, all three matches went the distance as the Pilots & Panthers battled for 3-sets in each contest.  Daniel Gomez & Miguel Pila dropped the 1^st set against a hungry Panther squad, before evening the match at 1-set apiece with a convincing 6-2 win in the 2^nd set.  Their opponents, however, took the 3^rd set and the match, giving Gomez & Pila only their 1^st doubles loss in 2 years of regular season Marine League play.  Alex Chun & Isai Chun, took the 1^st set in their match, before quickly losing the 2^nd.  Facing a 0-3 deficit in the 3^rd, they continued to fight, tying the match at 3-all, before finally succumbing.   Kevin Lam played superb, in his 1^st day of Varsity play, substituting for an injured Oscar Renteria, and teaming up with Jonathan Soria to take the 1^st set, as they seemed positioned to take their match in straight sets.  Their opponents, however, forced a tie-break in that 2^nd set & won easily to force a 3^rd and deciding set.  Once again, Lam & Soria seemed prime to bring it home, yet faltered in a close set.

In JV/Exhibition play, Juan Mijares & Rodrigo Chacon were the only winners on the day, with and 8-5 win.

Great Job Pilots & Good Luck vs. Carson in the team's season finale and Senior Day on Thursday vs. Carson!
