Double faired better, picking up 5 additional sets, Cole Cisakowski with Gary Davidson taking 2 of 3, narrowly losing to the line #1 doubles, 4 - 6. Very bright spot today, was Brock Bowman with Zach Champine, who swept all 3 sets, earning them both MVP's of today's match. We will take a day off tomorrow and regroup next week,league play starts 2 weeks from today, vs SM.

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!

San Juan Capistrano, CA — THE LIONS REMAIN UNDEFEATED IN THIS EARLY PORTION OF NONLEAGUE PLAY. WE STACKED OUR DOUBLES TODAY, WHICH WAS A GOOD PLAY AS WE SWEPT ALL 9 SETS, BROCK BOWMAN WITH ZACH CHAMPINE DID SO WITHOUT ALLOWING A SINGLE GAME.

Mission Viejo, CA — Last dual match of the season, great turnout for a “vacation” day.

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA — Both Miles McClain and Preston-Fickes Drisdale picked up MVP honors with singles wins vs. Santa Margarita’s #3 player this afternoon. Kudos to Michael Woodward who played that same guy tough in a 4-6 match, easily one of his best efforts of the season.
