As we first reported, when Rincon/University beat the Catalina Foothills boys tennis team 5-4 on March 25, the victory ended a 110-match streak for the Falcons dating back to a Division II semifinal loss to Ironwood Ridge on May 3, 2013. The streak included six state championships in a row from 2014 to 2019. Former head coach Bill Wright won the first two of those and current head coach Jeffry Bloomberg (78-1) took over in 2016.
The Falcons went without their top two players against Rincon/UHS, in Jared Perry and Jeevaj Bondalapati, and the Rangers took full advantage as any top team would. You play who you play and most of the players on both squads are used to the USTA circuit where that adage is true….
