The high school tennis regular season ended last Thursday with victories all around as Liberty defeated Allen, 7-0, Bethlehem Catholic defeated Notre Dame East Stroudsburg, 5-2, and Freedom defeated Easton, 5-2.

This week will be the District XI Singles tournament and team districts will follow. The Hurricanes are undefeated in the regular season and hope to repeat as district team champions after defeating Parkland for the title last year.

“Overall, I feel very confident about districts, especially with Wyatt [Marshall] and me playing doubles,” said two doubles player Anthony Ronca. “We’re very good friends outside of school so I think we have good communication overall and that sense of we know each other really well.”

Last Wednesday, Liberty won their second city rivalry match, this time, against Freedom, 7-0.

“With Freedom, it was a harder challenge than what we’ve been constantly playing,” Ronca said. “It was just, keep it cross court until that person gets the opportunity to step in and put that volley away because that’s where you win points, up at the net.”

Shavaan Farhad, who had moved up to two doubles for the match against the Patriots, and Ronca, won 6-3, 6-0. Dane Sinks and Raj Kundu won at three doubles, 6-3, 6-3, and Aidan Evans-Gartley and Gavin Evans-Gartley won at four doubles, 6-2, 6-4.

In singles play against the Patriots, Louis Gruber won at one singles, 6-1, 7-5, David Lynn won at two singles, 6-1, 6-0, and at three singles, Jacob Wong won, 6-1, 6-4.

I’m excited about districts,” said Ronca. “We were here last year. We won, and hopefully we can do the same this year.”
