The No. 1 doubles team is freshmen Josh Pinckney and Blair Nagel and the No. 2 team of Connor Hutchins and Mac Griffith.
Starr's Mill graduated three seniors off last year's 22-1 team, but return a strong group of core players. The team is led by senior Sebastian Schneider and sophomores Dubie Dubin and Shaaz Peerani. Coach Ronald Mann said what the boys lack in experienced tournament players, they make up for with strong-character players. Starr's Mill already has wins over St. Pius and Union Grove, the 2013 AAAAA runners-up.
