Carson freshmen football picks up win vs. McQueen

Appeal Staff Report

Carson boys tennis coach Kevin Fallon's theory is just to stay out of the way and let his players keep executing what they're doing.

"These guys are really working hard," said Fallon after his team improved to 2-0 and won its Sierra League opener 12-6 against Wooster on Thursday at CHS. "They're exceptional people.

"The only thing I want to do is not get in their way. I'm really very happy with what they're doing."

After what amounted to two tuneup matches, Carson will face its first real test of the season on Tuesday when it travels to Manogue for a Sierra League match.

Carson warmed up for the showdown by winning the all six sets against Wooster in the first round, losing just one game.

Spencer Brinson, Gordon Lee and Adam Whitt all won 6-0 in singles and Tyler Simms and Jordan Rogers and Jon Kane and Ricky Nguyen won 6-0. J.J. Aragon and Dom Mariani won 67-1.

Also for Carson in singles, Matt McDaniel won 6-1, Blake Sly won 6-3, Thomas Hollenbeck-Pringle won 6-1 and Adam Whitt won his other match 6-2. Smith and Rogers won their other match 6-1.

The match ended with an entertaining set in singles in which Lee eventually fell 13-11 in a tiebreaker, losing 6-7. Lee had five match points, three when leading 6-5, and two in the tiebreaker, before falling.

He also came back from down 40-15 to break serve to take a 6-5 lead and saved three match points in the tiebreaker. He also overcame a 1-5 deficit in the tiebreaker.
