THE TIMES’ RANKINGS

A look at the top 10 boys’ tennis teams in the Southland:

1. Irvine University (2-1, SS-Div. II)

Consensus is the Trojans are still the best, despite early loss to Peninsula. (No. 1 last week)

2. Corona del Mar (5-0, SS-Div. V)

Despite tough schedule, the balls bounce the Sea Kings’ way. Brothers Cameron and Carsten Ball are a combined 16-5 in singles. (3)

3. Los Alamitos (1-1, SS-Div. II)

Kevin McQuaid beat the Ball brothers but lost to his junior-circuit doubles partner, Garrett Snyder, in loss to Corona del Mar. (4)

4. Troy (6-1, SS-Div. II)

Twins Edward and Edwin Mendoza do the job in doubles for Warriors, who won Glendora tournament last week. (10)

5. Harvard-Westlake (3-0, SS-Div. V)

Freshmen Josh Lederman, Sam Wagner and Bret Thacher have played well for Wolverines, who lead Mission League. (5)

6. Woodbridge (4-1, SS-Div. III)

Erik Oijala didn’t play against Servite, and Warriors missed a victory on points in tiebreaker of an outstanding match (6).

7. Westlake (4-0, SS-Div. III)

Freshman Ben Steenland’s play has helped the Warriors defeat their opponents by a combined 65-7 margin. (7)

8. Esperanza (5-0, SS-Div. I)

Best victory so far for Aztecs has been against Aliso Niguel. Their doubles depth will be tested against Servite today. (8)

9. Hoover (4-0, SS-Div. I)

Sam Tadevosian has yet to lose a game. Sergy Vagramian finished third in boys’ 16s in South Bay tournament. (9)

10. Servite (3-1, SS-Div. IV)

Well, Friars know they won’t go unbeaten this year. Loss to El Dorado was inexplicable, even without two key players. (2)
