This was the first year that the men's 4.0 team
won the Fall doubles.
Since 1995, we've been in the finals three times but
never won.
The women's 4.0 team was in the finals last year but
lost to
San Fernando after having won it for the first time
in 1996. The only
team to have success in the Spring was our 1997 team
which got killed
at Nationals, but it was fun. Our mixed team
has gone to the sectionals
three out of the last four years but has never won
it, however Vern Pang's
IH team won it in 1997 from the San Gabriel Valley.
Our 4.0 Penn League team won this year against
the team from Los Cabs.
Hank Lloyd ran the league out of Costa Mesa because
there is no Penn league
in the San Gabriel Valley. This was the first
year he had it and required
USTA ratings. It was a tough final match and we were
lucky to win it.
The other teams in the league were the Irvine Tennis
Center, Chino Valley,
and Costa Mesa. It ran from May to October..ouch! and it
was hot.
We played in the 9.5 league last year and got
killed when the league was a
K-Swiss league. We had the same results when it was
the Pro Kennex
