Boys Tennis Takes Third in State!
For the third time in the last three IHSA Boys Tennis seasons, the Stevenson Patriots came away with a trophy and a top three finish. In 2018, the program earned Runner-Up honors, followed by a third place finish in 2019, and a third place finish this past weekend. Senior Eric Perkowski took third place in Singles, after Ansh Shah from Hinsdale Central defaulted in the final match. Sophomore Ashvath Madhushankar played into the fifth round before falling to Casey Hishinuma from Palatine. The doubles team of Junio Gabriel Visotsky and Sophomore Ervin Perkowski advanced to the consolation quarterfinals, but came up short to Glenbard West. Seniors Payton Adkisson and Daniel Tulchinskiy also advanced to the consolation quarterfinals before losing a close match to the doubles team from Barrington. Along with the third place finish in state, the program closes out the 2021 season with a 15-1 record, a NSC Championship, and a Sectional title.
