In a long-awaited triumph, Deerfield JV Boys Tennis snapped a six-year drought against Choate with a gritty 4–3 victory on the rival’s home courts. The match started with doubles, and it was Ryan & Russell at #1 who delivered under pressure, pulling off a pivotal 8–6 win to give DA the early edge. Alas, at #2 and #3 doubles, Choate proved mightier and collected two 8-6 wins to notch the first point of the match.
In singles, the middle of the lineup came through strong—Finn at #4 and Ted at #5 both put up crucial wins, while Jack at #2 rounded out the overall match score to 3-1. In exciting fashion, Matteo at #6 sealed the deal with a steady 8–6 performance to clinch the match. The #1 and #3 matches didn’t swing DA’s way, but the depth of the lineup proved decisive.
Rivalry reignited, streak ended, and the boys are bringing the win back to Deerfield.
