SOUTHERN SECTION TENNIS: DURKIN, EVERLY WIN DOUBLES TITLE.


Byline: Matthew Kredell Staff Writer

HUNTINGTON BEACH Huntington Beach, city (1990 pop. 181,519), Orange co., S Calif., on the Pacific coast, across from Santa Catalina Island, in an oil-producing area; inc. 1909. It manufactures aerospace vehicles, aircraft parts, optical instruments, and heat transfer equipment.  - Celia Durkin and Erin Everly Erin Invicta Everly (born November 8 1965 in Los Angeles ,California) is the daughter of Don Everly, and niece to Phil Everly from the Everly Brothers, and actress Venetia Stevenson. Her siblings are sister Stacy Everly and brother Edan Everly.  came close to not having played together in doubles at all. But two minutes before enrolling as a singles player for the Frontier League The Frontier League, based in Troy, Illinois, is a professional, independent baseball organization located in the Midwestern United States and Western Pennsylvania. It operates mostly in cities not served by Major or Minor League Baseball teams and is not affiliated with either.  tournament, Durkin had an epiphany. She thought it would be better to play doubles.

She was right.

The Calabasas duo came back from a set down to win the Southern Section doubles championship 6-7 (2-7), 6-3, 6-3 Tuesday over Taylynn Snyder and Brittany Holland of Corona del Mar Del Mar is the name of several places in the United States of America:
  • Del Mar, California
  • Del Mar, Texas
  • Del Mar High School, located in San Jose, California
  • Del Mar Racetrack, located in Del Mar, California
.

Not bad for two girls who never had played doubles together before the Frontier League tournament.

Durkin and Everly started out flat in the first set of the final, tired from a 2 hour, 45 minute semifinal won 2-6, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (7-2) over Colby Comstock and Nicole Labrucherie from Peninsula of Palos Verdes Palos Verdes is often used to refer to a group of coastal cities on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in the Los Angeles/South Bay area of California. This affluent bedroom community is known for its dramatic views, good schools [1] extensive horse trails [2] . Calabasas got its second wind near the end of the second set, reeling off six consecutive games to take control of the match.

``We lost that first set and told each other we weren't going to lose this,'' Everly said. ``We started playing harder and forgot about our fatigue.''

Calabasas has terrific singles players in Monica Wiesener, Amanda Fink, Durkin and Everly. They have their own minitournament to decide who gets to represent the Coyotes in singles. Durkin beat Everly in that tournament to earn a spot in singles next to Wiesener.

But Durkin, an adept net player, decided to play doubles anyway, switching with Fink minutes before the league tournament began.

``I could have played singles, but I thought I had a better chance to win the whole thing in doubles,'' Durkin said.

In singles play, Tracy Lin from Canyon of Anaheim defeated Lindsey Nelson Lindsey Nelson (May 25, 1919 - June 10, 1995) was an American sportscaster best known for his broadcasts of college football and New York Mets baseball. Early life and career  of Villa Park 6-3, 6-4 in the final.
