East Greenwich boys tennis eyes first state championship this spring
East Greenwich boys tennis is eyeing history this season as it remained perfect on the year.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN — East Greenwich boys tennis is in line for history. A state championship victory to end the spring would be a first for the Avengers. And it was built three seasons ago.
This current cast of seniors, four are ready to graduate in a month, started as the runner-up in Division II as freshmen. An undefeated season in that league followed in 2024 and it earned the Avengers a promotion to the state’s top rank. East Greenwich didn’t waste any time proving it belonged with just one loss in the regular season.
The third consecutive trip to Slater Park was only doused by Barrington — last year’s top seed. But it’s East Greenwich that’ll likely enter the playoffs with the target on its back. The Avengers toppled South Kingstown, 5-2, under postcard skies at Broad Rock Middle School on Tuesday, May 12, to remain perfect this year.
“We’ve definitely come a long way,” senior Henry Seeley said. “Been in the finals the last three years and hopefully bringing the Division I championship this year. That would be awesome, it’s definitely a goal of mine.
