For one doubles team, the season ended two days later at the first day of the league finals. No. 1 singles player Alex Newman lost to Mount Ta- homa's Michael Lim 0-6, 0-6; No. 2 singles player Bryson Finlay lost to Stadium's Kellen Girvin 1-6, 3-6 and No. 3 singles player Josh Priest lost to Bellarmine Prep's Adam Smith 0-6, 0-6. No. 1 doubles team Indi Endicott and Brandon Goodale lost to Bellarmine Prep's Mulloy and Beezer 1-6, 5-7 and No. 2 doubles team John Pentony and Alex Deacon lost to Gig Harbor's Magnani and McIntosh 3-6, 4-6. The only victory for Shelton at the preliminaries on Oct. 18 came from the No. 3 doubles team, Justin Demattos "We shouid have a fun season next year ... Especially if some of the guys can get out and play in the dub durin9 the offseason°" and Dalton Jaski defeating Mount Tahoma's Sandoval and Mancilla 2-6, 6-4, 6-4. "We had a tough draw for my top two doubles teams, playing a Gig Harbor team and a Bellarmine team," John Perry, head coach, said. "We played tough, but the other teams had more tennis experience and tourney experience than we did." Perry said Demattos and Jaski defeated the No. 1 dou- bles team from Mount Tahoma in a close match. "It gave them good expermnce to go to the main draw, with them only being a freshman - Demattos - and a guy who has only been playing for about six weeks," Perry added. "They played very well at the tourney, especially in their second match against a South Kitsap team where they lost 4-6, 0-6." Perry said that, all in all, the team had a good season considering it was almost entirely a new varsity squad with little experience. "I am only losing two varsity players next year and am keeping my top doubles team and half of my No. 2 doubles team, so we should have a fun season next year," Perry said.
