Tennis
The varsity tennis team had a busy week with three matches. On Wednesday, the Lions played TCA, winning all but one extras singles match. The team was led by junior Adnan Khan, senior Kobe Roseman, junior Rhys Arana in singles, and Arana/Creston Brooks, Matthew Pollock/Emmett Berger, Austin Zhang/Alex Piccagli in doubles. This match gave some of the players not as high on our line up a chance to play and they performed really well. On Friday, the team faced tougher competition against Houston Christian. Singles were led by Harris Wilson, Davis Bailey, and Sid Vattamreddy who played against fierce opponents. In doubles, Matthew Pollock/Jack Parolisi had a tight match but lost in a tough 3rd set, and Adnan Khan/Kobe Roseman pulled off the only win for the team that day. After the match, the Lions, Houston Christian, and Hockaday tennis teams shared a meal in the Great Hall and all appeared to enjoyed the camaraderie. On Saturday, the team faced John Cooper School (The Woodlands). Jack/Matthew and Kobe/Sid won the doubles points comfortably. The singles matches were more challenging, Davis Bailey and Adnan Khan battled hard, but came up short at Lines 1 and 3 singles. Freshman Mark Motlow played an incredible deciding match on Line 2 singles after being sick just a day before. He held a good lead in the final set but couldn't quite close out the match, and the Lions lost the match 2-3. The Lions tennis team displayed great sportsmanship while maintaining a competitive spirit. The players collected some great takeaways from both wins and losses and are gearing up for our first counter match this Thursday at Casady in Oklahoma City.

Baseball
The varsity baseball team hosted HSAA last Tuesday. Senior Reece Rabin pitched 5 strong innings, keeping his team in the game despite a couple fielding errors that turned into runs for HSAA. St. Mark’s were unable to come up with timely hits with runners in scoring position when needed, thus falling 3-4. On Wednesday, the Lions headed over to ESD for a “friendly” (non-counter game). Junior Cole Arnett and sophomore Mason Rareshide pitched nine shutout innings with a stout Lions' defense behind them. With the score knotted, 0-0, in the top of the 9th inning, the offense came alive with excellent bunting execution by Juniors Jack Rocchio and Cole Arnett. Junior Connor Pierce scored the game’s first run after getting tangled up with the third baseman in an obstruction call. Seniors Jimmy Rodriguez, Zach Landry, and Reece Rabin all collected RBIs to put the game away, 4-0. On Saturday, St. Mark’s hosted the #2 state-ranked Trinity Christian Academy. Once again, senior ace Reece Rabin pitched a great game, keeping his team in the game during six strong innings of work. Although St. Mark’s crushed two solo home runs, one by junior Daniel Mirochna and the other by senior Jimmy Rodriguez, the pitching staff was unable to keep the game close in the top of the 7th inning as TCA scored 9 times after a series of walks, defensive miscues, and hits scuttled the Lions pitchers, losing the game 2-11. The team will travel to Oklahoma City on Thursday for their first SPC counter game vs. Casady.
