Outlook: Meyers, one of the county’s best players, and Wilkins give Davis a solid one-two punch at singles, but strength at doubles will depend on how well junior varsity players such as Ling and Seid perform on the varsity level. “My team is an unknown quantity because I have so many young kids,” Davis said. “We need the young kids to step up. We’ll definitely fight for the league title, and how well we do (in the playoffs) depends on how fast we mature.”
