When it came to accomplishments on the tennis courts this season, the Patrick Henry High boys’ team aced one test after another.
The squad recently completed a historically successful regular season, winning its first San Diego Eastern League championship since 1992.
After a pair of early-season losses, the Patriots ended on a 13-match winning streak for an 11-1 league record and a mark of 21-2 overall. The team also took home the championship at the 2022 Annual Pete Brown First serve Tournament in February.
Freshman Oliver Kober has been a dominant force in singles, accumulating a 29-6 record on the year.
The doubles teams of Lincoln Branam and Dalton Bui (22-4) and Jordan Clifford and Ryan Kaplan (17-5) have won numerous close competitive sets that have determined the outcomes of many matches.
Since moving up from doubles to singles, sophomore Colin Miller has gone 22-6 and raised the team to a new level.
The squad has been carried by solid leadership from co-captains Paul Uong and Nathaniel Santana, as well as seniors William Grisafi, Cooper Delemus and Jose Cruz.
Substitutes Zander Kobold, Ben Kaplan and Drew Miller have all contributed big wins when called on to jump into the lineup.
Coaches Jason Kaplan, Jack Einbinder and Kenn Baniqued are extremely proud of the accomplishments of this relatively young team.
