Greyhounds exceed expectations
NAUGATUCK — The Naugatuck girls tennis team brushed aside its inexperience and put together a solid 2013 season — and next year should be even better. Without a senior on the roster, Naugy won seven of its first eight matches and qualified for the state tournament. Head coach Jose Sendra said the team surpassed... »
Woodland boys net best year on the court
BEACON FALLS — Woodland boys tennis coach Jim Amato didn’t want to acknowledge a potential peak in his program with this month’s Class S state tournament, but he couldn’t really hide the notion, either. “I don’t want to make it sound like a culmination, but it was an incredible run of individual success and... »
Satisfying season for Hawks
BEACON FALLS — In a moment that was one of only a few lows in the Woodland girls tennis season, Hawks coach Jess DeGennaro found solace and satisfaction. When Woodland dropped the Naugatuck Valley League team tennis final to Watertown last month, DeGennaro wasn’t devastated by the upset. Instead, she stepped back and saw... »
Naugy boys face stiff competition at Class Ls
WILTON — The competition was fierce at the Class L opening round of the boys tennis tournament on Tuesday. The Greyhounds finished the day 1-7 with top singles player Julian Milek posting the only victory in the first round. “We had a tough day,” Naugatuck head coach Tony Loomis said. “There were a couple... »
Woodland boys sweep up NVL gold
Woodland boys tennis coach Jim Amato doesn’t like to call his team dynastic, but at this point it’s tough to label it anything else. For the second year in a row, the Hawks swept the NVL boys tennis titles last week at Wolcott. Kyle Beynor repeated his singles championship with a 6-3, 6-4 win... »
Woodland duo nets gold
Last year, Woodland’s Liz Martin and Hope Gavigan fought through an all-day, five-match, 63-game marathon to finish as the runners-up in the Naugatuck Valley League doubles tournament. This spring, the going was a little easier for the Hawks top doubles duo, and they won the whole thing. Martin and Gavigan won their semifinal and... »
Hawks earn No. 1 seed in NVL tournament
BEACON FALLS — The Woodland girls tennis team will be the No. 1 seed entering the Naugatuck Valley League tournament. The Hawks clinched the top spot with a 4-3 win over Seymour on Tuesday, which sealed the NVL Brass Division title and allowed them to finish the regular season with a 14-1 record. It... »
A season of learning for surprising ‘Hounds
NAUGATUCK — The Naugatuck girls tennis team got out to a surprising 7-1 start on the season but slowed down a little by dropping matches against Naugatuck Valley League leaders Seymour, Woodland and Watertown. The Greyhounds recovered to split the next four matches, defeating Crosby and Wilby and dropping matches to St. Paul and... »
Milek making the most of his new surroundings
NAUGATUCK — Naugatuck boys tennis coach Tony Loomis thought he knew exactly what he had coming back for this season: a young, fresh, energetic team coming off a 14-4 ledger that exceeded all expectations. The ‘Hounds lost five seniors from last year, though, so there was bound to be a bit of inexperience. Then,... »
Woodland’s Beynor serves up wins
BEACON FALLS — Kyle Beynor has been the driving force behind a pair of the most impressive feats in the recent history of Naugatuck Valley League tennis. His Woodland squad hasn’t lost a conference match in its last 50. And he hadn’t lost a league singles match in even longer than that — until... »
