Through its busiest week of the regular season, the Jamesville-DeWitt boys tennis team did not drop any of its 21 matches and improved its overall record to 7-0.
The Red Rams had a strong start to its week, blanking Auburn 7-0 last Monday afternoon to win its fifth in a row.
The big highlight was a singles showdown between two proven stars, the Red Rams’ Robert Dotterer and the Maroons’ Scott Minnoe, with Dotterer taking the first set 7-5 and blanking Minnoe 6-0 in the second set.
Elsewhere in singles, Somil Aggarwal beat Trevor Bohannon 6-3, 6-1, with Peter Hatton handling Luke Parker 6-0, 6-1 and Dhruv Thota blanking Jacob Wansor 6-0, 6-0. in doubles, Tyler Glowaki and Ishan Gajra got a 6-2, 6-0 win over William Clark and Connor Davia, with Essex Glowaki and Harshal Nanavati beating Matt Micglire and Shahil Patel 6-1, 6-0. Thota and Eric Benaroch beat Mike Morrissey and Kevin Stechuchak 6-3, 6-1.
Then J-D made it six straight wins on Tuesday, topping Skaneateles by that same 7-0 margin. Aggarwal got it going in singles, beating Conor Driscoll 6-2, 6-3, while Nanavati beat Dan Judge 6-1, 6-2. Essex Glowaki routed Jack Belinski 6-0, 6-1 as Thota beat Max Hall by those same scores.
In the closest of the three doubles matches, Dan Frank and Eric Benaroch got past Anthony Panasci and Jack Lawson 6-4, 6-4. Dotterer and Hatton handled Matt Benson and Joe Ausio 6-0, 6-1 as Gajra and Tyler Glowaki topped Ryan Bailey and Malcolm Lombardi 6-1, 6-3.
In Thursday’s 7-0 shutout of Fulton, J-D saw Nanavati beat Robert Salerno 6-2, 6-4, with Aggarwal topping Anthony Salerno 6-3, 6-3. By contrast, Nanavati and Essex Glowaki dropped just one game in their two singles matches as the teams of Hatton-Dotterer, Gajra-Glowaki and Frank-Thota all had their own straight-sets triumphs.
East Syracuse Minoa opened its week last Monday with a 6-1 defeat to Mexico. With the undefeated (5-0) Tigers not losing a game in any of the three singles matches, the Spartans had to find something in doubles, and did when Kelvin Cheng and Bryant Pham claimed a 7-6 (7-5), 6-4 decision over Dan Mullen and Isiah Turo.
On Wednesday, the Spartans fell to Oswego 5-2, though it did get a point in singles when John Pontillo beat Lucas Shepardson 6-4, 6-2. Caleb Wilkinson and Dan Rivers rallied to beat Matt Hibbert and Drew Youngman 1-6, 6-1, 6-1.
Two other matches went to three sets, but ESM could win neither of them. Ben Houseman and John Kipping fell to Philip Cummings and Nick Back 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, while in singles Matt Brown took a 4-6, 6-4, 10-8 defeat to Logan Eagle.
