Boys tennis 9-18 vs Marysville and Cascade 9-23

The JV boys got their first team win of the season September 18th at Marysville, winning 4-3.

The Wildcats won all 4 singles matches, went to a tiebreaker in 2nd doubles, and won almost all of the exhibition matches. Overall the 'Cats went 11-4 on the day.

On September 23rd, things didn't go as well, as Cascade won 5-2 in scoring matches and 8-2 overall. Winners were Cameron Bester and Sean Kelley at 2nd doubles and Marvyn Sionson and Marshall Lewis at 3rd doubles.

Although the score was 5-2, Coach Brown said each match was hotly contested, and the final score could have gone the other way with a few breaks.

While the JV team was at Marysville, the varsity boys were at home.

Senior Derek Thomas recently returned to the lineup after missing the first few matches, and he dispatched his opponent 6-1,6-0, and Josh Evans, now at 2nd singles, won 6-3, 6-2. Unfortunately, that was all the scoring for the 'Cats as M-P won 5-2. OH did take two exhibition matches, with David DeGuzman & Chris Holbrook and Nicholas Merrick & Matthew Takaoka each winning.

On the 23rd, Oak Harbor came very close to beating Cascade. Derek Thomas and Josh Evans both won in straight sets, as did 1st doubles David DeGuzman and Geoff Worley. The difference was in 3rd singles, won by Cascade 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 and 2nd doubles, also won by Cascade 67-(5), 7-6(4). Either of those two matches going the other way would have given Oak Harbor the win. Coach Mells said that Josh Evans playes his best tennis of the season, and DeGuzman and Worley, although playing together for the first time this season, communicated well on the court.
