Mariano, Valko Ousted from Round of 16
The successful post season run put together by the San Clemente tennis duo of Ryan Mariano and Nic Valko came to an end on June 7, when the two were defeated by University’s Arash Hafezi and Eric Tseng in the CIF-SS round of 16 at Seal Beach Tennis Center.

Mariano and Valko were not a regular doubles team for the Tritons for a majority of the season but were paired together late and made their march to the round of 16 by winning their opening two matches back on May 22. The doubles squad earned a first round bye at the next stage, which placed them into the round of 16 match with Hafezi and Tseng.

Maples Named to All-CIF Baseball Team
Senior Cody Maples was a versatile and effective two-way player for the San Clemente baseball team in 2013 and on June 11 he was awarded All-CIF Division II honors. On the mound Maples was the owner of a 6-3 overall record and a sparkling 0.45 ERA. He was also a regular presence in the middle of the San Clemente lineup, where he batted .333 to go along with 12 RBIs and three home runs.
