Ceres High School once dominated its girls tennis rivalry against Central Valley, winning 15 straight matches from 2006-2013.

The Hawks have held the upper hand versus the Bulldogs since snapping a 15-match losing streak eight years ago.

Central Valley has won 13 of its last 14 matches against Ceres High.

The Hawks improved their all-time record versus the Bulldogs to 13-16 with a 9-0 road victory in non-conference play on Aug. 24.

Central Valley topped Ceres High twice by identical scores of 9-0 last year.

“It’s hard to get something going if you have a new coach every year,” Hawks’ head coach Mike Rodriguez said. “He (Ceres High leader Brandon Moring) has done a good job when he coached before. If he sticks around, they’ll do really well.”

The Hawks swept all six singles and three doubles matches during the 29th crosstown matchup.

“They did some good things out there,” Rodriguez said while assessing Ceres High’s performance. “We just had more experience than them. They have a bunch of new players. They’re pretty much out there learning how to play. That’s what it came down to.”
