BTen: Dons starting to pick up steam

Santa Barbara High won its fourth straight tennis match, routing Arroyo Grande 17-1 on Wednesday.

“Last week was our spring break, so I was concerned we would be a bit rusty but our guys were focused and played well,” Santa Barbara coach Greg Tebbe said.

Morgan Hale went 3-0 in singles, and the Dons won all nine doubles sets, led by the No. 1 team of Miles Hale and Harry Deboer.

“Miles Hale and Harry Deboer did not lose a game in their three matches,” Tebbe said.

Santa Barbara improves to 5-3 on the season.

“We are excited for the second half of our season as we have a lot of big matches coming up,” Tebbe said.

Next up for the Dons is a match at San Marcos on April 8 followed by a home match against Dos Pueblos on April 10.
