BOYS TENNIS PLAYOFFS NEWS
- 5/8/19 ~ It's officially the almost-not-quite-just-short outcome that very nearly set up a shot at another championship. It was that close. Seeking a crack at a second consecutive section title, the Ventura High boys tennis team clawed, scratched and battled before dropping an excruciatingly tight decision to host Sage Hill in the CIF-SS Division 1 semifinals on Wednesday. The loss came by total points, 80-63, after a 9-9 deadlock in sets. "We're all hurting today," said coach Tracie Currie, whose team finished 17-1. "We lost a heart-breaker. But I told the boys that we're going back to school today and we'll get ready to go back to work. We'll come back next year and be better."
