Portsmouth eliminates Cavs

It was a tough day on the road for the and Hollis Brookline boys tennis team in the state semifinals, but better days should be ahead.

The No. 3 Cavaliers were blanked by No. 2 Portsmouth, 9-0, in Newmarket.

“We had a great year, going 13-3 with a young team,” HB coach Jim McCann said. “The other top teams lose a lot of seniors, so Hollis and Souhegan should be pretty good next year.”

McCann’s Cavs ran into a Portsmouth team that will now face Lebanon next Tuesday to try to avenge a loss to the Raiders in last year’s semifinals. The Clippers last won the title in 2015.

Nick Vahe played well for HB at No. 1, up 5-4 at one point, but fell 8-5.

David Cherkassky lost 8-0 at No. 2, while Darius Paradie played well in losing 8-5.

Cam Vahe (No. 4) and Matt Williamson (No. 5) both fell 8-1 while Ben Zielinski dropped an 8-2 score at No. 6 singles.

Paradie and Alex Anghel played the closest doubles match, falling 8-6 at No. 2 doubles. Nick Vahe and Cherkassky lost 8-3 at No. 1 and the team of Cam Vahe-Williamson fell 8-4 at No. 3.

“Portsmouth’s (15-1) a tough team, and they were able to turn it around at No. 1 and go from there,” McCann said.
