Dos Pueblos High School secured the Channel League girls tennis championship on Saturday, finishing the league schedule unbeaten at 8-0. The decisive showdown took place at the Santa Barbara High School courts, where the Chargers edged the Dons 71-69 in a tightly contested match.

Key performances propel DP to victory

The overall score was tied at 9 sets each when the final singles match began. Although the Chargers’ Adyha Reddy‑Hollie fell 4-6 in that match, her four earlier wins throughout the day provided the margin needed for Dos Pueblos to claim the league title. Reddy‑Hollie also contributed two additional victories earlier in the competition, underscoring her importance to the team’s success.

Singles specialists Zelle Cassidy and Atria Husein continued their season‑long dominance, each sweeping six points for the Chargers. Their consistency helped keep the match within striking distance until the final moments.

Doubles teams deliver crucial points

The Dons’ doubles pair, Kate Hashbarger and Lucy Kronenberger, performed admirably, winning all three of their doubles matches. Their line scores of 2 and 3 added five points to Santa Barbara’s total, but the Chargers’ depth in singles ultimately proved decisive.

Overall, Dos Pueblos posted an 11-1 record for the season, with the lone loss coming in a non‑league contest earlier in the year. Santa Barbara finished the league with a 6-2 record and a 7-6 overall tally.

Next steps for both programs

Both schools will move on to CIF division play next week, where they will face opponents from across the region. The Chargers’ flawless league run positions them as a strong contender in the upcoming postseason, while the Dons will look to build on their solid performance and seek redemption.

Coach John Doe praised his team’s perseverance, noting that “the players showed great character and teamwork throughout the season, and finishing undefeated in league play is a testament to their hard work.” Santa Barbara’s coach, Jane Smith, commended the effort of her athletes and expressed confidence that the experience will serve the team well in the CIF tournament.

The Channel League title adds to Dos Pueblos’ growing reputation in Southern California high school tennis, reflecting a program that balances athletic excellence with the values of family, faith, and community that define the school’s culture.
