Boys’ tennis gets No. 1 seed, will host CVU
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Union High School boys’ tennis team earned the top seed for the Division I playoffs and will host a quarterfinal on Friday vs. No. 9 Champlain Valley.
The 11-0 Tigers and the 8-6-1 Redhawks will play at the Middlebury recreation courts at 3 p.m. The teams met once this season, with MUHS prevailing over the host Redhawks, 6-1. CVU defeated No. 8 Brattleboro in a Tuesday first-round match, 6-1.
