Carson boys tennis edges out Lancers

Appeal Staff Report

The Carson Senators boys tennis team received contributions from virtually its entire lineup to pull out a close 10-8 win in a nonleague match against McQueen on Thursday at Carson High School.

"It was a very close match," Carson coach Kevin Fallon said. "It was right down to the last matches. It was a lot of fun. There was some very close, hard fought, competitive matches. Everyone made a contribution. I was really proud of the guys."

Spencer Brinson swept all three of his matches for Carson, winning 6-4, 6-1, 6-0. His 6-4 win over McQueen's Joey Saarem was a big one as he beat one of Northern Nevada's to players. Brinson and Saarem are also doubles tournaments and recently won a club tournament as doubles partners.

The match was tied 3-3 after the first round as Carson swept the singles matches. Adam Whitt won 6-3 and Gordon Lee won 6-4 to go along with Brinson's win.

Carson was swept in doubles, losing two close matches. Jon Kane and Ricky Nguyen lost 6-7 (3-7) and J.J. Aragon and Dom Mariani lost 4-6. McQueen won one more game than Carson in the six sets that were played in the first round.

In the second round, Whitt won 6-0 in singles and Tyler Simms and Jordan Rogers won 6-3 in doubles. The difference of the match turned out to be Thomas Hollenbeck-Pringle and Nguyen winning 7-5. That helped give Carson a 7-5 lead after the second round.

"That was a big win for us," Fallon said. "Thomas played some of the best tennis I've seen him play all year."

In the third round, Simms and Rogers won 6-1 and Blake Sly won in singles 6-2 to put Carson over the top. Peter Brinson and Matt McDaniel also played well in a 6-7 (5-7) loss in doubles.
