Boys Tennis Tops Hillsborough, Win State Sectional Title

The Blue Devils stepped onto the court with one goal in mind that teams at every level of competition strive for, win a championship.

Westfield, ranked No. 2 in The Star Ledger Top 20 and No. 1 in the North Jersey, Section 2, Group IV Tournament , achieved that goal on Tuesday in route to a 4-1 victory over No. 6 Hillsborough Raiders.

"Hillsborough was one of the better teams we have seen all year. They pushed us very hard. We won in straight sets in every position but it was tight. They were good matches."

Justin Snyder and Adam Reich won their second and third singles matches respectively while first and second doubles also helped wrap up Westfield's 21st sectional title.

The Blue Devils take the court again Thursday at 9 a.m. when they compete for their 14th overall state Group IV title at Mercer County Park.
