Boys tennis: Younger Ball shines in CdM win

BEVERLY HILLS - Corona del Mar High Coach Tim Mang said Carsten

Ball showed, “a lot of maturity,” as the freshman swept in singles play

to spark an 11-7 nonleague win over host Beverly Hills Thursday.

Ball’s older brother, Cameron, teamed with Brennan Roberts to sweep in

doubles action to help keep CdM undefeated at 4-0. Beverly Hills dropped

to 1-2.

“He had a big win (over Beverly Hills’ No. 1) there,” Mang said of

Carsten Ball. “He was just playing smart and being patient. He didn’t get

shook up and came back, and he came out to win the very big points.”

CdM returns to action Monday, and will face highly regarded Peninsula

at Palos Verdes.
