The regular season came to a close for the Camden Hills boys and girls as well as Oceanside with the Windjammers pulling out a sweep of the day with the girls winning 5-0 and the boys taking a 3-2 win over the Mariners.

All four teams will be in the playoffs, but some of the final standings are to close to call as to exactly were they will finish once all the games have been played and reported.

As of this morning the Camden Hills boys are in fifth place while the Oceanside boys sit in seventh place in Eastern Class B Heal Point Standings. The top 11 teams make the playoffs. For the girls, Camden Hills is currently in second place, with Waterville in third with a game to play still. This will be a close call as to who finishes second and third. Oceanside is in 8th place and will likely host Hermon in the quarterfinals. Camden Hills will get a bye in the quarterfinals

"There is no doubt that we as a team played our best tennis of the season today," said Oceanside coach Nicholas Blais. "Though the overall score might not show it, the more detailed box score shows a long fought battle between two of the top teams in the KVAC!  It was the first time in my career coaching that two tiebreakers were played in one match.  First doubles played for over two and a half hours today demonstrating some outstanding endurance and tennis ability.  I was so proud of what my girls showed me today on the courts.  They battled for every point, never gave up, and played a tough opponent to the absolute best of their ability.  Its great to see my girls playing their best tennis of the season because we are going to need it this post season!  We are looking forward to the playoffs!"

Boys Tennis
Camden Hills 3, Oceanside 2… The Oceanside boys traveled over to Camden to take on the Windjammer boys falling 3-2. This score was just the opposite in the first match up of these two teams.

Here are the individual results with the winner listed first, in singles, Austin Pohlman (CHRHS) defeated Cameron Butler (OHS) 7-5, 6-3; Henry Berry (OHS) beat Marc Belley (CHRHS) 7-6 (7-2), 3-6, 6-3; and Luke Burnstein (CHRHS) defeated Love Eklund (OHS) 6-3, 7-5.

"I told the kids entering the match today, that if we were to win, we were going to need Butler to win," said Oceanside coach Shawn Dulac. "Unfortunately, it did not go that way, and we came up short. The Oceanside doubles teams came to play today for the first time in two weeks. We had our best roster out there, and it didn't happen for us. The Oceanside singles players did not come out to play tonight, but we have had a great regular season! We have had 12 matches, and this is the first time that the team as a whole did not play well together. We paid the price for it by getting our second straight loss. I still feel that we can make a run in the playoffs, but our road is a lot tougher now."
