HW Girls Tennis (18-2, CAL Champs, CAL Sportsmanship Winners) defeated Manchester-Essex at duPont Tennis Courts on the campus of MIT, 5-0 in the MIAA Division IV State Tournament to capture their fourth consecutive State Championship. The Generals raced out to an early lead in each match and never looked back.
The victory caps an incredible season for the Generals that was vastly different from their recent championship runs. The gritty group, which featured a mix of veterans in new leadership roles and rookies looking to make their mark, went 7-2 in matches decided by the score of 3-2. This experience served them well in the Final Four match against Lynnfield. The victory set up yesterday's culminating match at MIT in the State Finals.
Congratulations to the Generals on an incredible season!

On Thursday, the Class of 2027 and 14 staff members traveled to Mount Agamenticus in York, Maine. They all participated in a no-phone hike of 1 - 3 miles in very warm weather, culminating with a class community-building event facilitated by Jim Laselva and Matt Gauron. Everyone then had the chance to cool off at Short Sands Beach for lunch! This is now the third time the High School has run this trip, and each time they are amazed at how the students and staff come together to strengthen community bonds. On trail, with no phones, students were chatting, taking pictures of rarely seen flowers, huge ant hills, big snakes, and amazing views with real cameras.
