Outlook: The Sailors don’t have a nationally ranked singles player but they might have the deepest team in the Sea View League. Godbey, Canright and Nelson give Newport Harbor three strong singles players and Barker and Taylor will be tough to beat at No. 1 doubles. If the Sailors are going to pass Corona del Mar and Woodbridge in the Sea View League standings, Olson’s young doubles teams will have to come through.
