The Reagan varsity tennis team competed at regionals on Friday, April 17, with two girls doubles, two boys doubles, two mixed doubles lines, and two boys singles competitors—and delivered an impressive performance.
Both boys doubles teams dominated early, winning their matches to advance to the semifinals despite a rain-filled day with multiple delays. They pushed through to the finals, where they faced each other in a standout all-Reagan match. In a high-level battle, Pablo Alvarez and Rodrigo Montano claimed gold, while Jairo Kirk and Ryan Totorica earned silver—both teams advancing to state.
Reagan was also represented in boys singles by Finn Thanairongroj and Andres Taylor, who competed hard on Friday against strong opponents. While they did not advance to the finals, they showed determination and represented the program with pride.
Mixed doubles also saw strong results. Sabrina Scanlon and David Lopez fought their way to the regional semi finals, showcasing resilience in tough weather, but fell just short of a state berth.
Siblings Iris and Evan Wang displayed exceptional chemistry and skill, earning a silver medal and securing their spot at state.
While the girls doubles teams—Milena Yovanovich and Estefania Scanlon, along with Hallie Crofts and Angela Huang—ended their run at regionals, they represented Reagan with grit, heart, and pride.
This weekend also carried a deeper meaning for some of these athletes, as it marked the end of their varsity tennis journey at Reagan. There’s something incredibly emotional about watching players who have poured years of early mornings, long practices, tough matches, and unwavering commitment into a program step off the court for the last time. Through wins and losses, they’ve grown not only as athletes, but as teammates and leaders who helped shape the spirit of this team.
Our senior players, Sabrina Scanlon, Milena Yovanovich, and Angela Huang leave behind a legacy of dedication, resilience, and love for the game. Their presence, energy, and leadership will be deeply missed by teammates and coaches alike—but their impact will continue to be felt long after this season. As they move on to the next chapter, we wish them the best of luck.
With three lines advancing, the Rattlers now set their sights on state.
Go Rattlers!
