Last season, Jake Mascaro didn’t get out of the quarterfinals of his section singles tournament.
This season, he is going to the state tournament.
Mascaro, who entered the tournament as the No. 7 seed after winning Class AA Section 5, upset No. 2 seed Cody Schrecongost of Valley, 10-6, in the quarterfinals and No. 3 seed Bargo Patel of Greensburg Central Catholic, 6-0, 6-2, in the semifinals.
Ryan Riordan's feature on the Thomas Jefferson boys' tennis team:
"After falling short in its quest to win the Class AA Section 5 title the past two seasons, the Thomas Jefferson boys tennis team is poised to take the crown this season.
"Honestly, we're trying to go undefeated in section this season," senior No. 1 singles player Jake Mascaro said.
The Jaguars return four starters from last season's team that finished second in the section and advanced to the WPIAL Class AA quarterfinals."
