LADY PILOTS MAKE HISTORY, CONTINUE THEIR RUN AT THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

Congratulations to #1 Doubles, Nancy Melgoza & Cinthya Monroy, of the Girls Tennis Team for their history-making victory in the L.A. C.I.F. City Section Individual Doubles Championships, yesterday at the Balboa Tennis Center in Encino.  Melgoza & Monroy played a close match versus a tough team from Taft, but still won in straight sets 7-5, 7-5.  These Lady Pilots now find themselves in the “Sweet Sixteen” out of close to 200 doubles teams in the city, the furthest that a Lady Pilots Doubles team has advanced, perhaps in the entire history of Banning High School. 

Meanwhile, #2 Doubles, Adriana Garcia & Veronica Trujillo, played a top-16 ranked team from Granada Hills.  After quickly falling behind, losing the 1^st set & trailing 4-0 in the 2^nd, they mounted a comeback, winning 3 of the next 4 games, before finally succumbing 6-3 in the final set.  We are very proud of their effort and achievement as well.

Good luck to Nancy & Cinthya as they go back today, playing for a spot in the quarterfinals!
