Mission Viejo, CA — JSerra traveled to Saddleback CC to play our cross town rivals, St Margarets. The last time JSerra played here, we narrowly escaped with an epic CIF semi final battle, vaulting the Lions into their first ever CIF Championship game. Today offered a less dramatic scenario, but Coach was happy with the 13 to 5 victory. The Lions doubles teams swept 8 of the 9 sets played and singles added the additional 5. Lions duos sharing MVP honors are Brock Bowman with Zac Champine and Cole Cisakowski with Gary Davidson. The Tartans have a very formidable #1 singles player with a legitimate double digit UTR while their #1 doubles team was also strong...the scores don't show it, but, a few of the doubles sets could have gone either way. Logan Assad/Nicky Dubrow captured 2 sets, dropping their only set at line #1, 4-6. Brett Batey took 2 of 3 singles sets as did Jona Uhmans. "Our doubles combos are starting to jell" says Coach Orahood, and they will be well-tested Wednesday at home vs Portola then Thursday vs San Juan! Come out and join us! Go Lions!
