Preview<\/p>\n
Ravens rule<\/p>\n
Since the Open Division was created in 2014, either Canyon Crest Academy or Torrey Pines has won every title, with the Ravens claiming seven of the last eight championships. Expect CCA\u2019s dominance to continue.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn paper, we look very good,\u201d said coach Kevin Brown. \u201cWe don\u2019t have dominant singles players, but we\u2019re super deep.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chemistry a key<\/p>\n
Talent, and lots of it, is the main reason for CCA\u2019s long run. But senior Isabelle Hsu, who teamed with junior Minerva Toda to win the doubles title last year, cites another factor.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think our environment is very welcoming,\u201d said Hsu. \u201cI know a lot of other tennis programs are kind of toxic, especially those in Los Angeles. Our team is very connected. There\u2019s not cliques. We\u2019re very welcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n
On to singles<\/p>\n
While Hsu will likely try to add another doubles title, Toda is switching to singles.<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess there\u2019s nothing more to reach in doubles,\u201d Toda said.<\/p>\n
Focusing on college\u00a0<\/p>\n
Reigning singles champion Chloe Katz, a La Costa Canyon High junior, is passing on playing high school\u00a0tennis\u00a0this season to focus on her college recruitment.<\/p>\n
