Welcome to the Home of the Mighty Banning Pilots Tennis Teams!
We're incredibly
excited to bring you the latest in Banning Pilots Tennis news. After many years of struggle, the team has recently been
on the upswing with both the Boys team making eight trips to the playoffs from 2006-2015, and the Girls team making ten consecutive
trips since 2006. Most recently the boys made back-to-back appearances in the Invitational Semifinals in 2012 &
2013 with another Semifinal in 2015, and the team's 1st appearance in the CIF City Division/Division 1 in 2014 after winning
perhaps the first Marine League Championship in school history. The girls, meanwhile, advanced as far as the Invitational
Semifinals in 2008, just one match shy of the Championship, and also added perhaps the first appearance in Division 1 in school
history in 2015. Both teams have also received multiple berths in the individual tournaments in both singles
and doubles, with several doubles teams advancing deep into that tournament, producing two pairs of "sweet sixteen"
appearances for the boys, four boys (2 doubles pairs) advancing to the quarterfinals and named to the C.I.F. L.A. City
Section All-City Second Team in 2012 & 2014, four pairs to the "sweet sixteen" for the girls, and there have
also been four girls (two of them twice each) named to the C.I.F. L.A. City Section All-City Team in 2007, 2010 & 2011,
who advanced all the way to the final eight (two in 2007, two more in 2010 & 2011). Moreover, we're proud of the
academic success the teams have had. Since 2004, the gentlemen have had a 100% eligibility rate almost every season.
Meanwhile the girls varsity team has also had a 100% eligibility rate in almost every year from 2004 to the present.
