After winning last year’s League VI Championship, the boys’ tennis squad had to move up to League V and face some of the largest opponents in Suffolk County. It was a difficult leap for the Bears who had to face the likes of Patchogue-Medford, Ward Melville, and Sachem East, schools roughly ten times our size, yet several individual performances stood out.

The doubles tandem of Richie Armand and Enoch Wang earned an All-League nod while partners Anuraag Sah and Tyler Abrahamsen garnered All-County honors after their exceptional play in the Division III Championships.

At Divisions, Sah and Abrahamsen felled Ward Melville 7-6 (7-5), 6-2 in the opening round, then, against Bayport-Blue Point in the second round, the boys fared even better, dismissing the Phantom duo 6-4, 6-3. In the quarterfinals, they met the #1 doubles team from Ward Melville and, facing the top talent from a school nearly nine times our population, the boys fought back from an early deficit to defeat the Patriots’ top partners, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. In the semifinal round, the boys faced the most difficult team in the tournament and the top-ranked team in Suffolk County, Sachem East, and there was little shame in falling to the best of the best, 1-6, 0-6.

Sah, a mainstay of the tennis squad for the last three seasons, will be sorely missed next spring, but the return of Abrahamsen, Armand, and Wang will ensure future success on the hardcourt.
