Records can be deceiving. Just ask Duxbury Tennis Coach John Bunar how he feels after his team knocked off (5-0) the #1 seed in the Division II South Sectional quarterfinals on their home turf.

“Apponequet may have been 19-0, but they couldn’t bring it like we did,” Bunar said.

TJ Scholberg and Ben Startzell at #2 doubles got the action rolling on Monday afternoon with a 6-1/6-2 win over Eric Card and Tyler Whalen, while freshman Connor O’Keefe followed shortly with a 6-1/6-4 victory over Eric Edelman at #3 singles.

Freshman Peter Muncey continues to have little problem at #2 singles, as he won over Nate Kent, 6-1/6-4, and was joined on the sidelines by Connor Dunphy and Alex Holopainen, who triumphed over Tim Barbero and Evan Waldron, 6-3/6-3.

Having done their jobs, the rest of the Dragons were now able to sit and watch #1 singles player Brayden Minahan hand Pat Walker his first loss of the year, 7-6 (12-10)/6-4.

On Saturday the Dragons opened play versus #9 seeded Somerset High School and won easily, 5-0.

Minahan won his match at #1 singles over John Charest, 6-3/6-0, as his laser strokes were too much for the Somerset junior, while Muncey is proving that the #2 position is a strength for the Dragons, as he was off the court early in a 6-1/6-0 win.   

O’Keefe got the call at #3 singles and had butterflies early on. But the rookie regained his composure to win 11 straight games in his 7-5/6-0 victory.

The first doubles tandem of Dunphy and Holopainen beat a quality opponent in a three-set marathon, 6-1/4-6/6-3, with both sides exhibiting big power on both ends of the court.

Second doubles with Scholberg and Pete Tenaglia won easily, 6-0/6-3, to complete the sweep.
