LAKEWOOD, N.Y. -- Warren's boys tennis team suffered its first loss of the season Wednesday, edged 3-2 by Maple Grove at the Lakewood YMCA.
"This is a match we always look forward to every year," said Warren coach Thomas Pellegrino. "Maple Grove always has a solid roster and they currently have two of the top boys in the section in the DeMink twins. ... Since we traveled to them, we also got to experience the new New York format for tennis, which is 2-3 -- two singles matches and three doubles, which allowed us to start an additional player today."
At top singles, Warren's Abe Wolf fell 0-6, 0-6 to Fletcher Demink.
Warren's Adam Strandberg lost 0-6, 2-6 to Trey Demink.
At first doubles, Warren's Carson Moore and Jack Lynds defeated Jack Sherry and Caleb Barton 6-2, 4-6, 6-2.
At No. 2, Warren's Ben Scott and Lucas Thrift fell to Keegan Rishel and Nate Cresanti 3-6, 3-6.
At third doubles, the Warren pair of Brody Alexander and Collin Ellis defeated Logan Crist and Tyler Hatfield 6-0, 6-0.
"Although we fell a little short in this one, it was a great nonregion matchup that will only make us better," said Pellegrino. "We had some nice highlights today in our (number) 1 and 3 doubles slots. Carson and Jack played some of their best tennis all season and won a two-hour battle against a great team and Brody and Collin went out there and got things done, highlighting the depth of our roster."
Warren is 4-1 overall and 3-0 in Region 1 with a region match today in Sharon at Buhl Park.
