Court Side: Henry vs South

This is better late than never.

Henry beat South 7-0 last Thursday. This salved the wounds suffered against Edison on Tuesday ruining their plans of an undefeated season.

Henry swept the singles and doubles, but there were a couple of matches that went the distance--kind of a Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde type experience. Houa Pha at second singles, and the doubles team at #1 Yer Yang and Mai Chia Yang; and Nong Vue and Mee Vang each went the distance. Each won the first game. Pha and Yang/Yang, after crunching their opponents in the first game, struggled mightly in the second frame. Pha and Yang/Yang put on a tour de force in game three. Third doubles Vue/Vang had tight contests all the way with the widest gap three points.

SINGLES
1) Mai Ku Moua (H) def. Wanda 11-0, 11-6
2) Houa Pha (H) def. Ma 11-1, 9-11, 11-2
