The End of an Unusual Drought/ Varsity Boys Tennis Defeats Kew Forest to Stop Four Match Losing Streak

The Varsity Boys Tennis team is used to winning championships , not having losing streaks, but this is a bit of a rebuilding year so the difficulties of the last ten days were not altogether unexpected. Having dropped four in a row, two to IPPSAL teams (LWA and SSDS) and two to ACIS teams (Friends Seminary and Staten Island Academy) the Panthers really needed a win over Kew to keep, at least, their IPPSAL hopes alive. With Senior Paul Wirkowski and 8th grader Clark Ruiz, who has been the team's most consistent player, leading the way, the Panthers responded with this critical victory. Hopefully we'll see a strong "rally" from the guys as the season enters it's second half. Go Portledge Tennis !!!!!!!
