The ’83 boys’ tennis squad

On this day 35 years ago, the boys’ tennis team won a fourth consecutive League Championship with a 7-0 win over Mercy.

Matt Tubbs (6-3, 6-2), Ed Lin (forfeit), Paul Bastin (forfeit), and Mike Strasberg (forfeit) swept the singles matches while Kris Chvatal and Pat Nolan (3-6, 6-2, 6-4), Jim Storey and Don Storey (forfeit), and Chris Levy and Mike Esser (forfeit) earned doubles wins over the Monarchs.
