With a bit of controversy regarding the lineups, the 2011 Long Island High School Boys Tennis Championship came down to the first doubles match with the score tied at three matches apiece. After Cold Spring Harbor swept singles play, Half Hollow Hills East answered with three straight doubles victories. The match would be decided by either the team of Jensen Reiter & Alex Tropiano of Cold Spring Harbor or Zain Ali & Eric Bertuglia of Half Hollow Hills East.
For a fourth straight year, Cold Spring Harbor has won the Nassau County High School Boys Tennis Championship, capping off an undefeated 2011 season on Wednesday afternoon at Wheatley High School in Old Westbury, N.Y., with a 6-1 victory over Syosset High School.
To Cold Spring Harbor and Syosset, the prospect of facing off against the opposing school was overshadowed by the daunting task of beating the brutal wind that ripped through the tarp-less fences surrounding the courts. It was clear before the match that neither club was as prepared for the battle against Mother Nature as they were for the one against the other school.
