(May 22, 2025) — The Haddam-Killingworth High School Boys Tennis team was beaten 4-3 in a match played on the HK home court on May 19, 2025. Although successful at the one through three singles positions, the Cougars lost all three doubles matches and #4 singles to a deeper Guilford team.
Bryce Leiberman, Tyler Medina and Matthew Medina won their matches for HKHS, but the rest of their lineup was tested by a stronger Guilford roster. “It, again, proves that every match counts equally and every match has an impact on the final score,” said Coach Rod Pakus.
Individual Match Scores are as follows:
Singles
1 Bryce Leiberman (H-K) d. Tomas Khararadze (G) 6-1, 6-1
