OJAI - Corona del Mar High’s doubles combination of senior Brian

Morton and sophomore Garrett Snyder advanced to today’s semifinals in

18-and-under competition at the Ojai Valley Tennis Tournament with two

convincing victories Friday.

The Sea Kings’ pair pushed aside Santa Barbara’s Chase Muller and

Kevin Yardie, 6-2, 6-1, then in the quarterfinals, dealt Coronado High’s

brothers combination of Jonathon and Thomas Hopkins a 6-2, 6-3 defeat.

They continue today at Thatcher High with a 9:30 a.m. date, and if

successful, will play for the championship at Libbey Park in Ojai at 3

p.m.

Singles standout Cameron Ball of Corona del Mar was not as fortunate

Friday, falling in the Round of 16 to Pacific Coast League rival Aaron

Yovan of University High, 6-4, 6-1.
