For the first time in school history, a Cerritos College men's doubles team reached the state championship match. The freshman doubles team of Doug Edwards (Western HS) and Jason Wall (Lakewood HS) capped off a tremendous season by reaching the finals of the California Community College Athletic Association Men's Doubles Championship, which was held at the El Dorado Tennis Center in Long Beach.

 

    In order to even reach the championship match, the two had to outlast nemesis Waylon Bennett and Olumide Sherman-Norman of Grossmont College in the semi-finals. The two finally put away their opponent, but not before having to endure a 7-6 (5), 6-7 (5), 6-2 match for the right to face well-rested Hassan Abbas and James Preston of Ventura College. With not more than a few minutes to compose themselves, the #4-ranked Edwards and Wall were running on empty tanks and dropped a 2-6, 4-6 decision to the #3-seeded team. Earlier in the season, the Pirate duo posted an 8-6 win in a non-conference meet. Edwards and Wall finished their season with a 27-5 record as a doubles team.
