The Dobie varsity tennis team needed a player to step up and lead the way both on and off the court this season, especially early on. According to head coach Manuel Moreno Jr. (right), senior and three-year letterwinner Luis Cabreja has done just that. He went 3-0 in No. 1 boys’ singles matches and also teamed Rams 0 18 26 0 with doubles partner Albert Luu for a pair of big wins.
