The top-seeded duo of Calvin and Marvin Lin of Villa Park won their second consecutive boys’ title by beating the second-seeded team of Derrick Poon and Hy Ia of Alhambra, 17-16, 15-13. Poon and Ia were up, 14-5, in the first game, but the Lins rattled off nine unanswered points to tie the score. They used the momentum they gained to win the match.
