NASHUA – The future looks bright for the Bow High School boys tennis team.
It’s just that the present wasn’t what the Falcons wanted.
No. 3 Bow fell 5-4 to the No. 2 Hollis Brookline Cavaliers on Tuesday at the Nashua High School North courts. The Falcons dropped four of six in singles and HB clinched early in doubles as the tandem of Greyson McSeveney/Dylan Legrow blanked Sawyer Whiting/Jake French at No. 3 doubles, 8-0.
The Falcons fell 8-1 to the Cavs recently, and that was an indoor match at HB’s usual home at LongfellowTennis Club in Nashua.
“We were a lot more competitive today,” Bow coach Jay Yvars said. “The boys played well. It was a good year.”
Yvars has a host of underclassmen coming back, so he’s looking for an even better season in 2027 than the 12-4 mark this year.
The Falcons picked up singles wins at No.3 when Carter Hall beat Sam Anthony 8-6 and No. 6 as Jack French topped Eli Mazzola. But they lost at No.2 as HB’s John Torpey bested Ethan Hall, McSeveney downed Whiting 8-2 at No. 5 and Sam Pistor topped Jacob Ganacarz 8-3.
But the key was HB’s Arjun Inakollu edging Falcon Milo Cocola 9-7 at No. 1, the last singles match on the court. That put the Cavs (14-2) one win away from the clincher.
After things were decided, the Bow tandems of Hall/Hall and Cocola/Gancarz both won 9-7 to account for the 5-4 final.
