Vikes poised for sixth straight MVAL tennis title
Irvington High’s boys tennis program appears set to extend its dominance in the MVAL. Coach Rusty Andersott notes returning JV champions and a deep lineup, though several top players like Ken Schroeder Huey Birdwell and Bob Deeter graduate. The team finished 61 straight wins in varsity play, while the JV squad stands at 34 consecutive wins. Schroeder lost a bid for three straight MVAL singles crowns to Pete Hansen of MSJ. Birdwell and Minnan claimed the doubles title in league play but fell in the NCS semifinals.
