Boys tennis: CdM takes care of business

CORONA DEL MAR - Corona del Mar High junior Pat Ahearn and freshman
Nick Gingold made the most of their opportunity and helped lead the Sea
Kings’ boys tennis team to a 16-2 Southern Section Division V first-round
victory over visiting Sage Hill Tuesday.
Playing in singles, the CdM duo, which mainly competed on the junior
varsity level throughout the season, stepped up to the spotlight and
swept their sets.
“They had some nice efforts,” said CdM Coach Tim Mang, whose team
improved to 21-2. “They didn’t mess around with their opponents and they
put them away.”
The No. 1 seeded Sea Kings will play the winner of St.
Margaret’s-Beaumont DeAnza match Thursday afternoon.
For Sage Hill, Anthony Milovantsev and John Hamilton earned one
singles victory each. The Lightning, coached by A.G. Longoria, are in
their inaugural season of varsity competition.
The Sea Kings, last year’s undefeated CIF Division V champions, won
all their sets in doubles, featuring the CdM tandems of freshman Wesley
Miller and junior Alex Nguyen, juniors Issei Saida and Jordan Brokelshim,
and juniors Bryan Warsaw and Andrew Hinger.
