The FA Mens' Tennis Team is continuing with its success this season. As a team, they just dominated a tough conference opponent, NCSSM, in the 2nd round of the team playoffs. The score was 6-0. Our 3rd round foe will be Whiteville, a conference champ with a 12-3 record, at home on Wed. May 8.
On the individual side of the post-season, we just played the 2A Mid East Regional. FA's 4 players in that tournament did as well as is possible. Alphonso Sison won the singles title. In the finals he defeated his own teammate, Akil Vinodh. First and second in singles! In doubles, our team of Derek Shute and Nick DeLisio took the medal, winning in the finals over Research Triangle. This is our best showing ever by far, and there are more good things coming, both at States and the continuing playoffs.
