ith a 14-0 record and a Mercer County WTournament under their belts already, the Pirates have had an impressive run this season as they take aim at the state tourna- ment. South took home its seventh MCT title in eight years last month, the individual contri- butions have been the key for the Pirates. South won the county title by winning in- dividual titles in all of the positions, with the exception of first singles — something that has not happened since 2006. This time around, the four individual titles were not necessary for the team win, but were a good measure of the players’ strengths and ability. Daniel Ng and Dan Vaysburd won at sec- ond and third singles, respectively, while Abhinay Tumati and Thomas Weng won a ti- tle at first doubles. Peter Ku and John Hu took home the title in second doubles. Ng is no stranger to victory. Last year, he won an individual title at third singles. Meanwhile, it is the first individual title for Vaysburd, who is new to the singles position. South also defeated crosstown rival North, 3-2, on May 9. WW-P Golfers Win Big

The title is the sixth for the Pirates since 1991. The North boys came in third at the event, with a total of 322. North was led by Charles Cai, who finished second individually, with a score of 72.
