Foxborough tennis gathered for one last time this season at their tennis banquet.
It was a happy but emotional night at the Foxboro High School tennis banquet. Getting together for the final time this year in an official capacity, it was a celebration of both team’s successes and memories.

The Warriors suffered their first loss of the season and were eliminated from postseason play by a score of 3-2.
Not even rain could stop the MIAA Division 2 South Sectional Championship for girls’ tennis.

With only four courts to play on, one match would have to go on last. Using a coin toss to decide which match would play last, Hopkinton won the toss and was able to put a singles match on last. The decision allowed for two singles matches and two doubles …
