Boys Tennis Team Playoffs

Spring Playoffs are scheduled to start Thursday, 4/18 with the Boys Tennis Team tournament preliminary round. BUT, we’re off to a complicated start, as there is the potential for a tie for the section 2 championship, depending on results from Wednesday, 4/18. By rule, a section championship tie needs to be broken by a tiebreaker match. That tiebreaker match would be played on Thursday, 4/18, pushing the preliminary round to Monday, Semifinals on Tuesday and finals on Wednesday. Stay tuned for updates later today.
