The Law boys tennis team recently wrapped up a historic spring season.

The team finished the regular season 16-0 under new head coach Glen Maxwell and team captains Sanskar Shah and Angel Santiago. But the team didn’t stop there, as they also won the SCC Division II Regular Season and Tournament Championships. 

“After the greatest season in school history, improvement next year will be difficult, but we will focus more on continuing the standards the seniors have put in place,” Maxwell said. “Getting better every day is our goal, and incorporating offseason training and getting our guys playing more will help achieve those goals, no matter what our record is next year.”

Law was the #1 seed in the Class M State Tournament.

Shah said he was pleasantly surprised by how the season went, especially with COVID protocols in place.

“Honestly, the season was not nearly as destroyed as I originally thought it would be,” Shah said. “Typically, we have more regular season games and a larger range of teams we play. This year, our schedules were adjusted due to COVID. Additionally, bus rides have, at times, been a little mucky and uncomfortable, as we would all keep our masks on after having played hours of matches and breathing in our own hot breath.”

Maxwell said the team was very conscious of COVID throughout the season.

“We tried to spread players out on the bus, and at times only took the athletes who were playing to away matches,” Maxwell said. “We were extremely fortunate that we did not lose any players due to contact tracing/quarantine.”

Shah said he could not be prouder of the team’s accomplishments this year.

“Overall for this year, I would call it incredibly honorable and amazing, but especially when thinking about Jonathan Law tennis historically, I would add ‘phenomenal’ as well,” Shah said. “For the first time ever in its 60 years, Law Boys Tennis won an SCC Regular Season Championship, SCC Finals Championship, and went unbeaten in its regular season.”
