Boys Tennis Preview

     Though Middle Schoolers have made the Jim Maggart courts the hub of countless Four Square games this year, with the arrival of spring it is time for Tennis to take center stage. Local pro instructor Kevin Breuler is again at the helm, assisted by tennis guru Mr. Peter Flamm, and they are looking forward to a competitive season with a talented squad of players that range from 8th grade to seniors. 

     Smooth hitting senior captain and four year player, Johar Varma, will start at the # 1 singles spot, while Matthew Maniatty, who shows great composure as an 8th grader, will be starting in the #2 slot. Newcomer to the school, Vincent Landau, will start at #3.

Senior Gabe Sabatelli, first year on the HH team though already known for his soccer prowess, has been impressive and will take the #4 singles spot.

     In Doubles, #1 will consist of two more 8th graders with plenty of potential - Hunter Lewis and Grayson Nichols. The other senior captain, Spencer McCleery, will combine with junior Michael Brandfon, a three year varsity player, at #2 doubles. Doubles #3 will be veteran junior Isaac Haynes and freshman Will Christman. Rounding out the team will be Eric He, Jason Liu, Josh Huy, Hayden Kwon, and Boyuan Su.

     In assessing the team Coach Breuler remarked, “It's great to have the leadership of two such outstanding senior captains along with the new upperclassman players joining us this year. And the three eighth graders are a fabulous addition, as they will be an influential part of the line-up for many years to come.  Overall, the team so far has shown great chemistry with one another, and no one is afraid to put the work in.”
