Boys Tennis 2014-10-13

If you ever had the desire to see what tennis played outdoors in 50mph wind gusts was like, you should have been at Oak Harbor High School Monday afternoon as the varsity Wildcat netters held their final home match of the season, facing off against Pilchuck.

The match started early due to the impending threat of rain, but while cloudy and windy, the rain held off long enough to get a complete match.

And what a match it was!  Oak Harbor swept the visiting Tommies 7-0, and coupled with an Arlington loss put OH in sole possession of 3rd place with one match to go.

Jackson Wezeman at 1st singles barely broke a sweat, swatting his opponent 6-1, 6-1.  Carter Saar went 3 sets at 2nd doubles, but win 6-7(3), 6-2, 6-1.  Tom Dale won his first set 6-1, allowed his opponent to take a 3-0 lead in the 2nd, but closed out the match with a 6-0 run.  Ray Paraiso won at 4th singles 6-1, 6-0.

The doubles matches were just as lopsided.  The closest was at 1st double, with Kyle Martin and Jared Alano-Gray winning 6-3, 7-5.  Alexander Smith and Jared Hunt at 2nd won 6-2, 6-0 and Matthew Hallahan and Calib Byers at 3rd won 6-2, 6-3.

Nathan Magdalera and Max Van Dam played an exhibition doubles match and won 8-0, 8-3 while Jhon Dimaculangan and Joseph Cortes won 8-6.

Pilchuck does not field a JV team.

The final regular season match of the year will be away at 2nd place Everett while the JV plays at home on Wednesday.  The current forecast calls for rain all day, so check before you go to the match.
