Moreno Valley, CA — The Lions fought through the traffic just to get to their match today out in Moreno Valley... but, it was worth it...The drive home was literally much easier, the 14 to 4 victory under their belts helped too! Our singles 'swatters' swept all 9 sets as they did in round one, giving us an 18 - 0 record in two CIF matches...in those 18 sets, Danny, Brock and Zach have only given up 5, yes FIVE single games! That computes to a 54 - 5 tally! Our duos took 5 of the 9 sets they played, Aiden with Nick swept all three sets easily; 6-1, 6-3, 6-1 We won the coin flip, by CIF, giving us the home match for Mondays quarterfinals match, which will be at Laguna Hills HS again...time TBA. It is scheduled for 3 pm but, we may move it up to 2, which would give finals kids a chance to eat after their tests. It is fully illegal per/CIF to practice on Sundays, so, we will regroup Monday for a tough battle. The LA Times JUST called me asking our score. After I hung up, I thought "That was dumb of me!" [not to ask who won the match we are going to play]. Answer is.... Villa Park! They beat Crean Lutheran 9 - 9, 79 - 79 13 - 5 ! What the heck!?!?!?!? Here's the deal... If you tie 9-9, you count games [you all know that]. If you tie in game count 79-79 you have to go out and play the entire 18 set rotations a 7pt tiebreaker!... starting with the original 1vs1, 2vs2 etc AND it has to be with the lineup the way you ended the match... i.e. if you sub someone out, they can NOT come back in for the tiebreakers... remind me of that! So, study tomorrow, relax... if you go hit, no more than 45 min - an hour, just to get the kinks out. It's about to get real!!!!
