• Congratulations to the Girls Varsity Tennis team.  Message from Coach Papertsian:

I am so proud of our girls varsity tennis team, for their determination and commitment.  These efforts led to the girls to win their division for the third year in a row.  Many of our athletes then qualified and competed in the OCIAA tennis tournament where several of them won to move on to the next round.  On Friday, October 18th, our team fought very hard in defeat in the team tennis tournament held in Monticello.  I wish our six seniors the best of luck in their future endeavors and look forward to coaching the rest of the girls next year!
