Unbeaten South Puget Sound League Central Division boys tennis titleist Thomas Jefferson added to its storied history of achievements with a second place team total of 29 points to trail only unbeaten North Division champion Kentridge's 32 points in the SPSL 4A tournament which concluded on Thursday at the Kent-Meridian High School courts.

"The Thomas Jefferson boys tennis team accomplished something no TJ tennis team has done before," according to longtime Raider head coach Andrew Buchan.

Jefferson qualified seven players for the talent laden West Central District tournament to be held in May.

Joe Lee led the singles parade with a third place finish. After battling into the semifinals before losing, Joe Lee moved to third place when his Kentridge opponent Paul Yi had to retire due to injury. Branden Muraki was narrowly defeated by Kentlake's Taylor Welch, 6-2, 0-6, 7-6 (10-7) to settle for the No. 8 seed to district. James Lee survived the pressure of a loser-out match to take the 10th and last seed to district, 6-2, 7-5, against Simon King of Rogers.

In doubles the brother team of Makoa Rosa and Kainoa Rosa finished third after defeating teammates Kyle Creek and Brandyn Gomez, 6-0, 6-4, to send Creek and Gomez to district with a No.6 seed.

Joseph de la Cruz of Todd Beamer kept alive his return bid for state by outstroking Austin Pugmire of Rogers, 6-0, 6-0, for the No. 4 seed out of the SPSL. Titan doubles players Chase Friedrich and Sean O'Bryan completed the Brent Brilhante-coached Beamer representatives with a fifth place seed after defeating the Diwan-Lin tandem of Kentridge, 6-3, 6-4.

Max Manthou of Kentwood won the singles title while the Omkaram-Ballou team from Kentridge won the No. 1 seed in doubles.
