Laguna Hills, CA — How would you like to face the Great Bambino, then Lou Gehrig and then Ted Williams as a pitcher of yesteryear?!?! Well, that's what Villa park had to do today vs JSerra. VP started their ace at #2 today vs Brock Bowman.. in an epic 1.5 hour 1 set match, Brock fought back again and again, breaking serve at 5 - 6 to get into the tiebreaker where he got a quick lead and never looked back! Brock upset this player and then Zach Champine steps up and provides the knockout punch ALSO in a tiebreaker. BUT, the damage that Brock inflicted was insurmountable!

San Juan Capistrano, CA — JSerra celebrated senior day while hosting St. John Bosco and serving up a senior sauce 12 - 6 victory. The Lions captured 8 of the 9 possible doubles sets; seniors Brock Bowman with Sean Delaney sweeping 3 sets dropping only 2 single games! Nick Dubrow with Aiden German also swept giving up only 3 games! Zach Champine, who is on fire, swept all 3 sets, avenging a earlier loss to Bosco's #1 player. Luke and Anthony took 2 sets rounding up doubles tally.

SJCap, CA — Playing SM, early in the season is not fun.PLaying them the day before Easter break without one of your top players is no fun at all. The home version of our league's home/away format saw the Lions, the full-strength version reverse the previous score of 8-10 to a satisfying 10-8.

Fountain Valley, CA — KOach missed 1st MDei match due to operation, but, was with team today with Danny missing, due to injury. Looking at the previous scorecard; erasing Danny's 3 wins, making adjustments for 'home field advantage' and pulling a jv player up to accompany us, the new Vegas publication, Koaches Kalculations, had the line at JSerra 10 MDei 8.. good thing he is not a betting man!

San Juan Capistrano, CA — OLu showed up today with some solid singles players and 1 really good doubles team.

San Juan Capistrano, CA — Coaches had to both run out for bottles of "Grecian Formula" after today. Both Varsity and JV won 9 - 9 on total game count... Once again proving that it really is a total team sport! Brocks bagel[s] (long story); got "captained" on set point in round 1, coupled with Danny's bagels and then Brock and Zach's great efforts in [especially] their last sets avoiding any chance for the Friars to catch us in the game count. "But wait!, there's more!" In round 3, my 1 and 2 doubles teams, Gary Davidson with Aiden German and Nick Dubrow, respectively, were both down, late... Gary and Sean fought off a no ad point on a long rally at 5 - 5 on a fantastic long rally, where Friar Tuck had a point blank shot at Sean, trying to turn him in to Ichabod Crane, but, the fence got in the way! If it was a letter, it would've been charged double for airmail!. Aiden and Nick were in a similar predicament, got the break and PROMPTLY held serve to close out the win! Had these 2 teams not rallyed, game count wouldn't mean a thing. Yes, we were that close to a 11 - 7 loss...

Lakewood, CA — Missing 5 bona fide starters, JSerra sheepishly crept into Lakewood CC this afternoon, shuffling lineup suggestions amongst each other. KOach finally settled on what he thought would be best producing in respect to total games [should the sets be tied 9-9] Koach Kirk's record vs Bosco is 24 - 2 over the years, losing twice to the Josh Rosen [yes, THAT Josh Rosen] squad. BIG producers today were our subs, who basically won the match...Michael Woodward with Rodney Culwell won 2 sets in doubles before succumbing to the Braves line #1 team. Brian Chi partnered with Jack Thompson to defeat Bosco's line 3 team easily. Two of these sets were won in round 1, which coupled with Brock's round 1 come from behind, and Zach and Anthony's singles wins, gave the Lions a 6- 0 lead. The quivers were empty at that point and the Lions never looked back. Freshman, Anthony Ashworth got his first ever Trinity League singles win, and elusive prize for young players in this league.

Rancho Santa Margarita, CA — We knew we were in for a dog fight today, a heated one at that, literally!

Aliso Viejo, CA — Brock Bowman swept all 3 singles matches as did [other MVP's] Sean Delaney with Gary Davidson, appearing to set up a squeaky win... but, the tough Wolverines gritted their teeth and only allowed us 1 additional set in singles [Zach Champine] and another doubles set from Nick Dubrow with Aiden German. Last year, this was a nail-biter as well, with a 9-9 game count win to the Lions. This is becoming one of our non league 'friendlies' and we are glad to continue this contest yearly, girls and boys. Esteban Johnson joined the team and will be a helpful addition in the doubles lineup as we get ready for Mater Dei on Friday.

Costa Mesa, CA — I guess we could insert different names from the girls match here and call it a day! But, too many good efforts to not be recognized!
