The Patriots ran off with a 17-2 victory. The two matches won by Galena Park were by Adrian Balderas over Tarun Jain in the boys’ singles, and Landis Garcia teamed up with Kenneth Gonzales in the boys doubles to beat GCM’s Tanner Swimmer and Justin Morgan. Jain got a win when he teamed up with Saumil Datar for a win in the boys’ doubles. Johnny Tran and Brandon Taylor also pulled a win in boys doubles to knock off Galena Park’s Balderas and Erick Calderon. GCM girls doubles teams swept their way through, not allowing a single game. Julie Tran teamed up with Tiffany Willie. Emily Brown Teamed up with Nichole Nerf and Keely Walker team up with Crystal Aguilar. Each of those matches ended with an 8-0 score. The girls’ singles swept their way past the Yellow Jackets with a combined game count of 48-2. Head coach Ismael Dutchover is pleased with his team’s early success but knows it will only get tougher as the year unfolds. “It’s going pretty well so far,” he said. “There are just a lot of positives this season. We have some sophomore girls who have really stepped up. “Julie Tran and Kassey Wright have challenged each other every week,” he said. “They’re real competitive and really close to each other. We can rely on both of the all the time.” Dutchover is pleased with the production from the boys as well. “Tarun Jain has been in our lineup since he was a sophomore, and he has contributed a lot already,” he said. “Saumil Datar had rally nice match at Galena Park. He pulled it off in three games. Those two have really been big.” Whether it’s the boys or girls, Dutchover says his seniors bring a lot of leadership to the table. “Overall, we’re a pretty young team,” Dutchover said. “Our seniors are contributing a ton. Their leadership has been tremendous, not only vocally but what they do on the court. “The senior girls we have are Tiffany Willie, Nichole Nerf, and Samantha McMichael. Jordan Walker and Tarun Jain are the two main senior boys, and Michael Nydrell is seeing some playing time in doubles.” Dutchover said Walker’s presence makes a huge a difference. “He’s played in every match but one, and that was one we lost,” he said. “So that made a huge difference because he’s playing so well.” Dutchover says his team members have high expectations for themselves. “Overall, the level of expectations has been raised from years past, and the kids have really embraced that and stepped up to the plate. It’s been nice to see.” The Patriots have a bye week this next week, and Dutchover says he plans on taking advantage of it. “We’re off this next week so we’ll wait to see how other matches play out and then we’ve got Crosby, and after that we’ve got a tough match against Barbers Hill. We’ll try to challenge them as best we can, and hopefully it all turns out in our favor.” 19-4A team tennis W L G.C. Memorial 3 0 Barbers Hill 2 0 Crosby 2 1 C.E.

09/14/10--GCM Patriots’ tennis looking for regionals = GCM Patriots’ tennis looking for regionals = Posted: Tuesday, September 14, 2010 10:16 pm | // Updated: 10:52 pm, Tue Sep 14, 2010. // By Robert Chambliss | [| 0 comments] Over the past few years, the Goose Creek Memorial Patriots’ tennis team has been looking for improvement each and every time it hits the courts. And over the past few years, they have been successful, finishing as high as third place in last year’s District 21-4A meet.

But now the Patriots aren’t just looking for improvement. Instead, they are looking for a regional berth. “I believe this is our year to make the playoffs,” Patriot coach Ismael Dutchover said. “At the beginning of the year we set our team goal together, and that goal was to finish in a playoff spot.” In order for the Patriots to complete their goal, they must finish in first or second place in District 19-4A, a district traditionally won by Patriot rival Barbers Hill. “You know there were some shifting this year in the districts,” Dutchover said, “And I think that put us in a better position to make the playoffs. “We lost Kingwood Park, (19-4A champions), and we picked up Baytown Lee, (from 21-5A), which now makes me feel that we are the best or second best team in our new district.” The Patriots have made a case for themselves this year, posting a 5-2 overall record, 2-0 in District 19-4A. Their wins have come against New Caney, 13-6, Summer Creek, 10-9, C.E. King 16-3 and they grabbed two 18-1 victories over Porter and district opponent North Forest. Their only losses thus far have been to Kingwood Park in a 4-15 outing and to Pasadena Memorial, 8-11. Along the way, the Patriots have had some stand-out performances, with Jordan Walker leading the boys side, and sophomores Kassey Wright and Julie Tran leading the way for the girls side. Against Porter, Walker won his singles match 6-0, 6-0, and followed up that performance with a 6-0, 6-1 win over Summer Creek. He has also helped out the team with his doubles performances. He and Wright won their mixed doubles match against Porter 6-0, 6-0, with Wright also winning her singles match that day 6-1, 7-5. Wright’s match against New Caney took a tiebreaker to settle the score, but she came out victorious 9-8. Tran has also be dominating on the court with her 8-5 victory over New Caney, and her 6-1, 7-5 victory over Porter in the singles division. “Really we are pretty solid this year,” Dutchover said about his team. “Normally we are solid on the girls side, but this year, we are also solid on the boys side. “Every day we are out here competing against one another trying to fight for spots on the team that week. “This is a solid team we have, and I expect us to do really well this year.”
