If horse-racing parlance calls winning three bets a trifecta and taking four a superfecta, what is finishing off all six of something called?

Upper St. Clair senior tennis player Jay Jones may want to find out. Having already earned gold medals in five of the six highest possible high school honors, he can finish off the, err, six-fecta this weekend.

Jones' scholastic tennis resume already reads like a wish list the envy of just about anyone who's come through the WPIAL. He's been part of WPIAL and PIAA Class AAA team championships (three WPIAL, one PIAA), won WPIAL and PIAA doubles titles (taking both his sophomore year with partner Chris Foster) and is a two-time PIAA singles tournament qualifier, earning his first WPIAL singles gold medal earlier this spring.

And that doesn't even speak to an accomplished USTA tournament career that helped earn him a scholarship to Division I Cleveland State University.

But for all he has done throughout his high school tennis career, Jones has a chance to cap it in his final match by taking home the only title he's missed: A PIAA singles championship.

Jones will take his shot beginning tomorrow at the Hershey Racquet Club. He is one of 16 elite players from Class AAA schools from around the state who qualified.

Last season, Jones lost in the semifinals to Mark Milbrandt of Great Valley. Milbrandt is one of the top players in the state and figures to be one of the main impediments to Jones' success this weekend.

"Hopefully [Jones] can match [Milbrandt's] level of play," Upper St. Clair coach Ron Mercer said. "If Jay plays his best, he's got a shot."

The first round and quarterfinal matches are tomorrow, with the semifinals Saturday morning and the championship and third-place consolation matches scheduled for Saturday afternoon.

Tin Chu and Drew Gallatin already have shown they are the top male doubles team in WPIAL Class AA. Now they have a shot at taking part in the PIAA Class AA doubles tournament.

Of course, Chu and Gallatin only have a silver medal to show for their WPIAL tournament efforts. They were beaten in the WPIAL doubles title match by sisters Karli and Tanya Timko, who were not able to enter the girls' tournament because their high school, Chartiers-Houston, did not have enough girls for a team.

Thomas Jefferson coach Chuck Correll had planned to dedicate plenty of practice time to Chu and Gallatin's quest for a PIAA doubles medal.

"We've already set up a plan of attack," Correll said. "We invited a bunch of other teams and other kids to practice with, some really good players who have graduated to work out with.

"We're just going to get as ready as we can and hope for the best. I know we can probably improve a lot of things. The girls really exposed some weaknesses for us to work on.

"You have to tighten those up because at [the PIAA tournament], it's a whole new ballgame. You cannot believe the quality of tennis up there. It is really impressive. It should be; it's the state tournament. There's so many kids who will be playing in college that it's pretty much like a college tournament.

"With so many very good players and athletes, it's entertaining. With so much strength and speed, it's fun to watch."

The Timko sisters figure to be among the favorites at the PIAA Class AA doubles event, which, like all the PIAA singles and doubles tournaments in both classifications, will be played tomorrow and Saturday in Hershey.

Daniel "DJ" Goldblum, a Mt. Lebanon resident who attends Winchester Thurston in Shadyside, looks to add a PIAA medal to the WPIAL Class AA gold he won last month.

Goldblum, a sophomore, took fourth place in the PIAA tournament last season.

"I'm just going to go up there and do the best I can," Goldblum said.
