Davenport said South Tahoe’s depth was key to winning with Truckee having the best singles player and contributing three points to the Wolverines.

South Tahoe’s singles players, No. 1 Juan Vazquez, Travis Lee and Quinn Proctor, all won two out of their three matches.

Proctor improved from the last time against Truckee, recording two points.

“Our quality depth was the deciding factor in the match,” Davenport said. “And Quinn Proctor showed dramatic improvement from our last match with Truckee.”

The doubles teams of Pete Sullivan and Adin Burns, Matthew Sullivan and Clyde Rypins and Andrew Lehmann and Aidan Walker all won two out of their three matches.

South Tahoe next will compete in the NIAA Individual 3A Northern Region Championships at 9 a.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 25-26, at Tahoe Donner Tennis Center.

“We are preparing for the individual tournament,” Davenport said. “We have the top three seeds in doubles and are hoping for strong results from all of our players.”
