San Juan Capistrano, CA — JV had a stronger lineup today than our first meeting (11-7 win) and one of Mater Dei’s players was moved up to varsity, so they were short a player …. giving us a 3-0 lead to begin the match!

JSerra 8 - 10 Foothill. Loss :(

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Way better than last year’s shellacking by the Knights, the JV boys came close. Losing 3 of 4 Tie-Breakers proved to be the difference.

Boys Jr. Varsity Tennis

JSerra 6 - 12 Crean Lutheran. Loss :(

San Juan Capistrano, CA — A bit unbalanced in the loss again, winning only 2 singles sets and 4 doubles. To quote an old speaker story: “There’s got to be a pony under there somewhere.” Meaning when we solidify doubles partners by Trinity League play, we should be really solid in doubles.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — There was some excellent tennis played today, the JV team almost pulled off an upset after losing earlier in the season at Crean Lutheran. Coach had the score wrong on the big board, we actually were down 7-8 and needed the last 2 sets in order to win the match, but (simultaneous) split finishes left us 1 set short.

JSerra Catholic 6, Sage Hill 12
Boys Jr. Varsity Tennis

Struck by Lightning, Lions drop 6-12decision vs Sage

Newport Coast, CA — In a rematch vs Sage, the boys came up a little short today, but there was some great individual efforts. Brian Chi swept 2 of the 2 SINGLES sets he played, which is great because he usually plays doubles. He toyed with his opponents, kinda like a cat 'n mouse-type thing before putting them away. Kenney Perez also won both of his doubles sets with different partners! [Max Chiotis ans Jordan Gessin. This trio went 5-6, 6-5 and 6-4; tiebreakers played at 5-all. Max with Jordan vs Sage's line #1 duo barely lost in the tiebreaker or this would have been a clean sweep. Luke had a tough loss to Sage #1 line, then handily beat the line#3 player 6-2 before being subbed out. "He is striking the ball very solidly from the back court and not reluctant to move into the net. This will bode well for future doubles play" says KOach Kirk.

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA — We took almost a full roster (15 of 18) players to Santa Margarita this afternoon in an extra added, non-league contest giving some of our subs a chance to play 2 full sets. Thanks to all the parents who stepped up to drive (we’ll need some of you this Friday too!)

Edison 7, JSerra Catholic 5
Boys Jr. Varsity Tennis

JSerra 5 - 7 Edison. Loss.

Boys Jr. Varsity Tennis

JSerra 5 - 13 Crean Lutheran. Loss :(

Irvine, CA — Nice venue, nice afternoon - not so nice final score. The 5-13 score was more lopsided than the actual match - there was some very good tennis played this afternoon. We lost 2 tie-breakers, along with a 4-6 set. However we had great parent turnout today....JSerra parents Rock!

JSerra Catholic 6, Sage Hill 12
Boys Jr. Varsity Tennis

JSerra 6 - 12 Sage Hill, loss.

Newport Coast, CA — Surrounded by ominous dark clouds, after passing through a brief shower on the toll road, our JV boys miraculously got all 18 sets of tennis in at Sage Hill in a cold but fun night match. Missing a couple of top players turned out to be the difference.

La Quinta 5, JSerra Catholic 4
Boys Jr. Varsity Tennis

Boys JV close but no ....

San Juan Capistrano, CA — The JV boys competed very well, but, came up a set short. "In a regular 6x6 format, with singles and doubles, this would be a Lion victory", says KOach Kirk,. "The main indicator being our sweep of La Quinta's #1 doubles team 6-4, 7-5, 6-0."JSerra lost a tight match at line 2 doubles, 5-7 which would have been the swing state!

Boys Jr. Varsity Tennis

JSerra 8 - 10 San Juan Hills, loss

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Thanks to our old friend Coach Tim DeLio, who added this last minute match for us today. It was way different than the hectic scene on Tuesday. Despite being the end of the quarter, we had a great turnout and all the players got to play at least 2 sets, most played 3.
