San Juan Capistrano, CA — We lost to this team 3 to 15 a couple of weeks ago...KOach gave his ALAMO speech today and drew the line in the sand and the whole team bought in. Just as the real battle in San Antonio, we were severely overmatched in the singles area and gave up 8 of 9 sets, BUT, this was an improvement over last time. The lone set was an solid 6-1 victory from Zach Champine vs Servite line 3. Our doubles stuck to KOach's game plan and took 6 of the 9 sets, barely missing out on the last match of the day, where the Lions were tripped up in a tiebreaker.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — DAy 2 was much cooler than the past 2 days! Our boys competed very well today, most of the sets we came up short on were 6-8 or 7-8 tiebreaker losses. 2 or 3 'heart'breakers. Again, this compass style tournament keeps all players in; even if you lose, youjust move to another section of the draw, NE, NW, SE, SW [thus, the compass].

Newport Beach, CA — Our boys played in an individual "compass" format today; in which, they are placed into a draw and will play 4 matches in 2 days. If you win, you go to the right and west, should you lose. Every round will give you points to add to whole school's tally. JSerra lost 6 sets today vs 4 wins. Brady and Gary made it to the semis of doubles while Zach took 2 easy sets to advance to the singles semis. Tomorrow gets tougher.
