Though other matches (including ones involving unbeaten Fayetteville-Manlius and Christian Brothers Academy) on Monday got postponed by impending storms, Jamesville-DeWitt did get in its match against Homer and, improving to 8-0 on the season, the Red Rams shut out the Trojans 7-0.
That J-D got all seven points against a Homer side that entered the day with a 5-1 record was possible because, in first singles, Somil Aggarwal survived a long third-set tie-breaker to beat Vince Saraceno 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (10-8). Druv Nanavati also worked hard to beat Matt Pelowski 6-4, 7-6 (7-5).

Then J-D played on Wednesday and handled East Syracuse Minoa by that same 7-0 margin. Aggarwal, Drun Nanavati and Harshal Nanavati each won by the same 6-1, 6-0 margins over, respectively, Bryant Pham, Kelvin Cheng and Ben Houseman, with Essex Glowaki beating John Pontillo 6-0, 6-1. The doubles teams of Dotterer-Hatton, Gajra-Tyler Glowaki and Frank-Druv Nanavati did not lose a game in any of their matches.
And this led to Thursday’s first-place showdown with Mexico who arrived with an 8-0 record, J-D dropped a point when Druv Nanavati lost a long third-set tie-breaker in a 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (10-8) defeat to John Ocker, but the Red Rams still beat the Tigers 6-1.
Tyler Glowaki, in first singles, beat Joe Ocker 6-1, 6-3, with Essex Glowaki blanking Joey Domicolo 6-0, 6-0 and Harshal Nanavati beating Connor Spurling 6-3, 6-0.
