Six players on the St. Matthew’s boys tennis team participated in the Pacific Basin League Championships at Memorial Park in Santa Monica last week. Rory Behr and James Ondaatje battled through three matches to win the doubles title, 8-6, against a team from Crossroads. The Falcons’ duo aced a pair of Brentwood teams, 8-6 and 8-4, to reach the finals. Joey Friedrich, playing No. 1 singles, took home a finalist trophy by beating Brentwood’s No. 2 player, 8-6, before losing to the Eagles’ top seed, Danny Sharon, 8-3, in the final. Playing second singles, Greg London lost his first-round match to the eventual champion. After a first-round bye, the Falcons’ No. 2 doubles team of James Schetter and Starr Hathaway faced Crossroads in the second round and lost, 8-3. Every St. Matthew’s player either lost to a finalist or won the championship. The Falcons are coached by Parker Rand.
