I did hear that Kingwood won 3-2 in the big battle with the Black Sheep. I believe Don Rios and Raymond Santiago/Bao Vo Dinh surrendured the two lines for the Crush. The other Westside team won 4-1 and is in the hunt for that second playoff spot.
Lakeside beat the Phoenix 4-1 and kept their season alive, silencing the naysayers. Roscoe Trujillo is an impressive player for the Phoenix and won his singles match comfortably over Omel Ruiz.
In 5.0 Copperfield dominated the Met and all but officially wrapped things up. Jason Pieters handled Amit Garg pretty easily.
How did Sienna 4.5 do?
ReplyDeleteGB, up and coming...
ReplyDeleteThe 53 Sienna 4.0 team had a bye so they played with each other.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny. They probably played a 4 team round robin event....
ReplyDeleteSienna 4.5 lost to Sugar Creek 4-1, losing 2 3rd set breakers again. That makes us 0-3 with every match decided by 3 setters. I guess that's the difference between the established teams and the up-and-comers...
ReplyDeletethe problem with sienna is the matchups. costilla and jacobs are better singles players then doubles. with trevino playing one singles and costilla or jacobs playing two singles, they have a good chance of winning at least two lines.
ReplyDeleteLakeside 4 - Westside Phoenix 1. The griz still got some game...Cherkoee 6
ReplyDeleteDamn. Bradley took Rios to the woodshed last night. And Rios beat Omon in the North Houston league the night before. Hurricanes? Team of the Decade? What a joke.
ReplyDeleteI heard OMON took Rios to the woodshed the night before and then Bradley did the same.
ReplyDeleteRios must be in a rut. we all go through it. omon and bradley are playing some great tennis. how about lacy take a a 6-1 set off of phan.
ReplyDeleteJust FYI, the "other" 4.5 Westside team is called "No Way Out".
ReplyDeleteNo one remembers them because there is nothing to remember.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Lakeside's 4.0 team....
ReplyDeleteThey seemed to have added a last minute should be 4.5 lefty - Geber Urbina. Jury is still out on the kid, but I look at his record and he has beat some good 4.5 teams.
He along with John Castellano another should be 4.5 bagger seemed to have helped them on that impressive win over the (no longer)undefeated (15-0) Westside's Phoenix team last night.
Im not sure about the rest of you but do not underestimate Spoor's Lakeside "Baggers"
Lakeside has always had questionable players but those guys are not 4.0 sandbaggers or ringers. Westside was only 15-0 because they hadn't played any good teams yet.
ReplyDeletejason pieters seems to had hands full with amit garg- 7-5 first set not easily beat. ha ha!
ReplyDeletegood to see the Hurricanes back on track. HTown, I don't know what is worse you rooting for Eddie Hill or the Houston Rockets?!
ReplyDeleteGo Kobe and the Lakers!
Cary,
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow against Branch. Hopefully Kern will be in the lineup so you can pick up at lease 1 line.
Cary, don't start a flame war or we will take your site down with porn links. The tennis will be lost in the smut.. I have a new script have been wantting to test drive.
ReplyDeleteYou won't know what hit you my friend. ;)
In the 4.0 division, does anyone have an updated ranking of the top 8 teams?
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to see where Lakeside will rank with their new additions?
Are they now strong enough to knock off the Hurricanes or Sienna?
Lakeside needs to worry about beating the Smokers first. Good Luck.
ReplyDeleteLakeside would lose against Hurricanes/Sienna. Not enough depth on that team or firepower.
ReplyDeleteGood luck against Smokers? Good linesmen maybe.
ReplyDeleteWho cheats on the Smokers?
ReplyDeleteLakeside still can't beat Sienna but they might be able to beat the Hurricanes. Those aren't the teams they should worry about, they need to beat Smokers and probably beat them badly.
ReplyDeleteWho will be on the doubles lines at playoffs for the better 4.5 Hurricanes. It seems several good doubles players have not played yet.
ReplyDeletegood match this weeks.
ReplyDelete1. Sugar Creek vs Duecebags. Winner will take the second spot.
2. Omon might play Trevino... a rematch of the Coke finals that went 3 sets.
3. WSTC NOW vs. Kingwood. NOW will need to at least one win from Kingwood or Blacksheep to take the overall second spot.
ANY THOUGHTS?
Westside's name is No Way Out (NWO), not NOW. No one can remember the other Westside team. They should rename themself, The Other Westside.
ReplyDeletetoo bad moser did not play
ReplyDeletecopperfield. would have been a good match to see him play martinez again. last time it went 3 sets at the fall fest.
WS NWO 4 Kingwood 1
ReplyDeleteNo Way out will steal a singles line and sweep the doubles. No way Crush can handle our depth at doubles.
WS NWO 5 Kingwood 0. Our singles players are much better then Kingwood.
ReplyDeleteNWO vs Kingwood... it's going to come down to 2 or 3 third set tie-breakers that will determine who wins.
ReplyDeleteKingwood over NWO 3-2
who are NWO singles players?? they have no one from what i understand...
ReplyDeleteNO WAY OUT WILL GET SWEPT BY CRUSH!!!
ReplyDeletewe all know that rios, bui, and phan plays singles for kingwood. alvares plays singles for nwo. do you really think that alvares can beat any of these three guys?
ReplyDeleteI am sure that the comments about Westside NWO beating Kingwood was not from any member of the team. Kingwood has nothing to worry about and should play all the players that haven't had a chance to play this season.
ReplyDeletenwo has a very good team and was under rated at the beginning of the season. kingwood shouldn't sit out their tops players. they can play the other players as soon as they secure the playoff spot. if nwo wins on thursday, they have the opportunity to take over 1st place.
ReplyDeleteget real, NWO is not good.
ReplyDeleteNWO almost beat Kingwood in the first match last year and that was when Kingwood had the Oman. Since then they have added Alverez and a couple more good doubles players. Go ahead and underestimate them if you want. Just don't be surprised Thursday when they pull it out.
ReplyDeleteNWO is not in the same league as the MIGHTY CRUSH!!!!
ReplyDeleteOn Paper who wins between Crush vs Hurricanes?
ReplyDeleteAnonymous said, anonymous said, anonymous said, anonymous said, anonymous said,
ReplyDeleteEnough said.
Bear Creek is the #1 4.0 Men's Team.
ReplyDeleteAny team with Dibua is the #1 4.5 Men's team.
NWO almost beat Kingwood last year. You are correct they almost did, loosing 4-1, 5-0, 5-0.
ReplyDeleteThe Crush lost an automatic 2 lines when the Dibuas left, and the Hurricanes picked them up. So advantage Hurricanes. Add Burrmann and Day and the scale tips even farther.
ReplyDeleteGo Hurricanes.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to tip the scale more with Green,Huffman and Ballesteros in doubles. Advantage Hurricanes.
ReplyDeletethe hurricanes definitely have a deep line up, but they barely got a win over duecebags. 3 third set tie-breakers.
ReplyDeletewhy is sarosh playing in the hurricane a-team. he'll lose all his matches for them. he should be on the b-team. this would give the b-team a decent lineup.
ReplyDeletePut him on the C-team
