Boys’ tennis aiming to add new players

Coach: Florin Marica

2014-2015 season recap: The team went 11-1 and secured a spot in the playoffs, with their only loss of the season to Bellarmine College Preparatory.

Key Returning Athletes: Seniors Jihau Yu and Karthik Padmanabhan, sophomore Dean Stratakos

Key Additions: None

Key Losses: Class of 2015 alumnus Neel Bedekar and junior Andre Xiao

Key Additions: None

Key matchup: Monta Vista, Menlo

Prognosis: The team has to cope with the loss of several players by working that much harder to ensure a spot in the CCS playoffs. “With the lost of many players, including four  starters, I think we can fill those spots and win the De Anza league for the third year in a row and make our fourth straight appearance in the CCS semifinals,” Marica said.
