Wayland rallies past Sharon to win Division 2 boys’ state tennis title

Boston Globe 6/13/12: Wayland rallies past Sharon to win Division 2 boys’ state tennis title. The Wayland boys’ tennis team did not get off to a promising start in Tuesday’s Division 2 state final at Newton North High. Facing Sharon, which was undefeated at 20-0 entering the championship, the Warriors dropped their two doubles matches to leave coach Shawn Powers feeling uneasy. “There was a lot of doubt, plenty of doubt,’’ Powers said. “Early on, everybody was down in their first set, and way down, too. And we lost our first set in third singles, too.’’ Despite the early adversity, Wayland’s underclassmen saved the day. Freshman Will Sharton, sophomore Jon Goodman, and sophomore Ethan Hecker rallied to sweep their singles matches and help the Warriors defeat the Eagles, 3-2.
