Waterville ME:
A year ago Windham High School (WHS) had
never won a Class A state Championship. This
weekend the WHS boys tennis team won the
second class A State Championship for the
school in the last eight months.
The Windham
High School Boys Tennis Team has been a top
contender for a state title the past few
years. Up until this weekend they had fallen
just short of their goal. That changed as
the Eagles unseated seven-time defending
state champion Lewiston Blue Devils.

Dan Crocker had just
watched the final shot sail wide of the court before
the celebration began. Crocker had defeated
Lewiston's Eric Hall 2-6, 7-5, 6-1 to seal Windham's
3-2 victory over Lewiston. The loss snapped
Lewiston's 119 consecutive wins and a seven year
reign as state champions including their win over
Windham in 2009.

two points when Eric Morin defeated Windham
