SPECTULAR SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The tennis team completed their season with a royal flush. In cards, a royal flush is perfect. In tennis, going undefeated is also perfect. Uunfortunately, the perfect season came to an end.

The Beavers pulled off one of the most spectacular achievements in sports, and it is something the Beavers accomplished only five years ago when they went 10-0 and won the championship. The Beavers were also coached by Ms. Sutera in 2003.

Last year the tennis team, with a record of 9-1, had a very good season. This year they went one step forward with a 12-0 record.

After the Beavers went undefeated, they headed off to the playoffs. They entered the playoffs as the number one ranked team full with confidence. "It feels good to go perfect and now we are confident and we feel like we can win it all," said junior Philipnary Thuyamany, who plays first singles for the Beavers.

During the playoffs, the Beavers received a first week bye, not playing any team in the first round because of their undefeated record throughout the season. The Beavers played John Adams High School in the second round and defeated them by a score of 5-0. In the third round, the Beavers went up against High School Environmental Studies and defeated them 4-1.

After winning fourteen games in a row the Beaver's winning streak sadly came to an end.The winner of this game will advance to the championship game,the Beavers played Manhattan Center/Science & Math in the next round. They lost by a score of 3-2 in the semi finals, but unfortunately the Beavers couldn't defeat Manhattan Center/Science & Math, their worthy opponent. Hugo Doliveira won his match by a score of 2-0, he played the third singles. Richard Sigh and Gagandeep Singh won their match by a score of 2-0. That was the only loss that the Beavers had in their season, that loss was by Manhattan Center/Science & Math High School, the team that won the championship.

The Beavers made it all the way to the semi finals. "Loosing in the playoffs was crushing, but I felt happy because of the wonderful season we had and how far we made it. It feels good knowing that we lost to a worthy opponent, the team that won the championship".

Apparently in cards the best player doesn't always win, and the underdog can came out on top, and this happend against the beavers.
