Girls Frosh/Soph Tennis
JSerra 9 (77) - 9 (80) Capistrano Valley. Loss :(
San Juan Capistrano, CA — Heartbreak better learned at the Frosh Soph level than CIF Championship Finals, been there done that = no fun. We had to win 10-8, as game count was 3 off with the tie. However, we previously lost to Capo 12-6, so this was a big improvement. AND, we are going to play them one more time in 2 weeks….

JSerra 6 - 9 Santa Margarita. Loss :(
San Juan Capistrano, CA — In an all doubles format, both squads battled hard in the heat today, in a back and forth match. It’s good that nobody had to play singles.

Girls Frosh/Soph Tennis
JSerra 6 - 12 Santa Margarita. Loss :(
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA — A bit warm, but playable. We got off to a slow start, dropping the first round 2-4, which was the score for the 2 subsequent rounds as well. Playing a regular format: 9 singles sets with 9 doubles sets, JSerra doubles fared a bit better in dubs, winning 4 while singles won only 2.

Foothill 11, JSerra Catholic 7
Girls Frosh/Soph Tennis
JSerra 7 - 11 Foothill, loss :(
San Juan Capistrano, CA — Foothill had a couple of JV players in the line-up today, at our request …. hoping for them to have 12 girls show up, so we could play an all doubles format. Well, that backfired, but our team played well and battled hard. We let the “C” squad play twice because of an earlier rainout, and all the “B” squad members played twice yesterday.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — There’s an old adage in the insurance business: “What the Big Print Giveth, the Small Print Taketh Away.” That’s true about today’s match w Newport Harbor. What the big scoreboard shows does not come close to telling the true story…..

JSerra 7 - 11 Fountain Valley, loss :(
Fountain Valley, CA — Fountain valley is always a tough place to play - lots of activity, old balls mixed up w new ones, windy, and usually a drum corp practicing for football games - at least that wasn’t going on. However, they are more lax about letting our parents sit court side, so for that we give thanks.
