Ben White giving his all in the doubles match |
The
match was broken into singles and doubles. Each individual match is best of
three games and the entire competition is best of five of all the matches
played.
Due to
a lack of players on Massabesic’s team, they forfeited one of the doubles
matches. So, Windham was up 1-0 early on.

The
singles matches featured Stephen Sepulveda,
Trevor Crowley and Vireak Tray. Stephen won two of the three matches he needed
to win. His scores were 6-1 and 6-2. Trevor Crowley won two of his three
matches with scores of 6-2 and 6-3 and Vireak Tray also won two of the three
matches he needed to win, with scores of 6-0 and 6-3.
In the doubles matches,
Andrew Wing partnered with Ben White and they won two of the three matches they
needed to win. Their scores were 6-1 and 6-1. The other match was forfeited due
to Massabesic’s lack of players.
Windham came out to win
5-0 in this match because of the three singles wins and two doubles wins.

While watching the
student athletes in both the singles and the doubles matches, I noticed one
thing all the Windham athletes had in common: intensity. The Eagles had speed
and agility on the court showing Massebesic they were energized for the win (or
wins).
The Eagle’s forceful
serves and return volleys capitalized on showing their opponent they were here
for the ‘W.’ Windham athletes are concentrated and determined to do their best
during these matches.
“This was a great was to
start off; to get a good win and hopefully we’ll keep it going,”
commented Coach Gary
Stone regarding the match.
