Boys Tennis:

La Salle had a champion and a runner up at Thursday’s Del Rey League finals.
Anthony Gibbs, the Lancers No. 1 singles player, played a grueling three-hour, three-set match in the semifinals.
Gibbs’ final match was against the defending champion from Bishop Montgomery.
Unfortunately for Gibbs, two hours and three sets later, he ran out of gas and fell by scores of 7-5, 4-6, 3-6.
Sam Solomon & partner Kevin Rao cruised through their semifinal match against Bishop Amat to set up a title-match showdown with the No. 2 seed from Bishop Montgomery.
Playing like seasoned veterans and looking like the top seed, Solomon and Kao won in straight sets by scores of 6-4 and 6-2.
 All three finalists have qualified to play in next month’s CIF-SS Individuals.
