Seattle Academy is pretty good at this whole serve and volley thing.
The ritzy private school (tuition is $34,236 per year) is one of the three big powerhouses in 1A boys tennis, joining University Prep and Charles Wright Academy.
The Cardinals finished second in the team standings at the state tourney last spring, adding to a pair of previous 3rd place showings.
Overall, Seattle Academy has brought home a team trophy seven of the last eight seasons.
Which is all a long way of getting around to mentioning the Cardinals came to Whidbey Wednesday and bushwhacked Coupeville 5-0.
The loss drops the Wolves to 1-5 in Emerald City League play heading into a road match Friday at South Whidbey.
If nothing else, getting the chance to play Wednesday was preferable to Monday, when a road trip to Redmond to play Bear Creek was rained out.
It was the second time liquid sunshine has prevented the Wolves from playing a match this fall.

1st Singles — Drake Borden lost to Josh Davydov 6-1, 6-1
2nd Singles — Thane Peterson lost to Zach Cohen 6-0, 6-0
