Windham boys tennis took home the first place plaque in the inaugural pre-season flight tournament held on April 24 and  25 at the Cheverus tennis Courts in Portland.  In addition to Windham, teams from Gorham, Cheverus, Caribou, South Portland and Westbrook all competed.  Caribou took home second place honors.     
 

After winning two preliminary matches against South Portland and Cheverus, Windham's first doubles team of Kyle Morrell and Kurt Stultz won in a tough final match against Gorham, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4.  The second doubles team of  Dylan King and Andy Brix prevailed in a three-set match against Cheverus, 7-5, 2-6, 6-2.   Dan McGovern, who had a first round bye, made it to the finals in the third singles division and won against Caribou player Casey Lancaster 7-5, 6-3.
 

Dan Crocker advanced to the finals in the second singles division but lost in a close, three-set match to the second singles player from Caribou 2-6, 7-5, 7-5.  First singles player Nate Johnson made it to the semi-finals but lost a tough match to Gorham's Aaron Bergeron 10-6.
 

Lots more tennis was played over two beautiful but windy days on the Cheverus courts, including consolation matches and JV matches.  Windham players hosted the Caribou team for the tournament, which ended with a barbecue at Windham high school for the Windham and Caribou teams and a spirited game of ultimate frisbee!
