"Although the North Branford boys' tennis team finished a crueling week–playing a total of four matches including three consecutive matches from Wednesday to Friday–there were many positives that came through during this difficult schedule," said Geremia. "[In addition to Dombrowski and Parisi's play at No. 1 doubles], other very good performances were given by No. 2 doubles team Randy Willis [senior] and John Opie [sophomore], winning two matches, as well as Phil Maresca [sophomore] winning his first match of the season, as well as taking two other players into third sets. Senior Scott Jackson has also preformed well playing the No. 1 singles position."
