The Wildcats edged the Matadors 4-3 on March 4, two days after the Falcons had beaten the Mats by the same score.

Los Gatos swept Monta Vista in doubles play to pull out the thrilling victory. The win helped the Wildcats improve to 2-0 in league play and to 7-1 for the season.

Senior Lee Gerston teamed with senior Tin Tran to nail a tough three-set win over Monta Vista at No. 1 doubles. The Gatos pair took the match 3-6, 6-2, 6-3.

It didn't get any easier at No. 3 doubles. Senior Drew Froehlich joined with senior Greg Thaler for an exciting 6-0, 6-7 (7-9), 6-2 three-set win.

James Lok and Matthew Solomon, a couple of seniors at No. 2 doubles, won easily 6-1, 6-1.

Los Gatos won just one of four matches in singles play, but it turned out to be enough for the Wildcats. Senior Chase Huebner posted an exciting 6-1, 5-7, 7-6 (7-5) win at No. 3 singles.

Junior Brian Brogan lost a 2-6, 6-4, 6-4 heartbreaker to Ken Kao at No. 1 singles. The two net stars are very familiar with one another's style since they are doubles partners at the Courtside Tennis Club and are ranked No. 1 in the nation in boys 16 doubles.
