The Livingston High School boys’ varsity tennis team defeated Verona and West Essex but lost to Montclair and Millburn in last week’s play. The team now has a 5-4 record.
Montclair 5, Livingston 0: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team had to wait 13 months to honor former Livingston Board of Education member and major supporter of Livingston athletics, Buddy August, as the 2020 honoree to “Serve Out the First Ball.” August continued a tradition that the LHS tennis team started in 1982.
At first singles Montclair’s Tylan Ozkuzey defeated Robbie Coleman 4-6, 6-0, 6-3 while Andrew Rhodes and Jake Hershkin lost their matches in straight sets. At first doubles Montclair’s Nolan Ogden and Jaden Ruberman defeated Aidan Baris and Atiksh Kotikalapudi, 7-5, 3-6, 7-6 (8-6), and the Lancers Ethan Bassuk and Jake Einzig lost 5-7, 4-6 at second doubles.
