Recap
Post Office Gang Mug Shots ;) These guys stole 9 sets today!
San Juan Capistrano, CA — "Clueless in Capistrano", read my scouting report on OLu. KOach admitted he had nada, except,
1] Servite beat OLu 13 to 5... Servite beat us 15 to 3
2] OLu has 2 singles players w/ >10+ UTR ratings.
So, a corporate decision was made to "Stack Doubles" ... well that turned out like a NetFlix stock split! It's a team game, of course, but, JSerra SWEPT ALL 9 doubles sets!, against a VERY formidable team. This just solidifies my observation that depth wins high school tennis matches, not 1 or 2 great players.
The pivotal match came in Round 1 with Joe, Joe Bond and Nick Dubrow coming from behind to squeak out a 7-5 victory at lin3 3 dubs, giving JSerra a 4-2 advantage going into the second round. Joe and Nick's win took the wind out of their sails, although, nothing is for certain. The Lions rounded the last curve up 8-4 in sets going into round 3, where OLu swept all 2 singles, closing the gap to 9-6..If OLu gets to 9, we lose on game count. But, the LIONS played tough, sweeping round 3 just as they had rounds one and two. ALL doubles players are MVPs today!
"This is the 1st time I can remember ever sweeping all 9 dubs vs a GOOD opponent'" says KOach Kirk. OLu is a very well-coached team and they defintely will make some huge 'half-time' adjustments before we visit them in a few weeks."
We need to get ready for Thursday as we travel to Mater Dei!
GO LIONS!
