Craig D’Amario, Falmouth  DIVISION 1
		In his eighth year of coaching, D’Amario won his first league title, the Atlantic Coast League. That’s not all he and his team won, as they rattled off 21 straight victories. In a clash of the undefeated in the state team tournament, Falmouth fell in the South sectional final to Sharon, by the narrowest of margins, 3-2. ‘‘I haven’t had a team like this before, to say the least,’’ said D’Amario, who described his team as motivated, determined, and focused. He said his coaching strategy was ‘‘winning one match at a time.’’ D’Amario is a 1983 graduate of Falmouth. In high school, he played football and continued playing at UMass-Dartmouth, where he was MVP in his senior year. In his spare time, D’Amario enjoys playing his guitar, writing songs, gardening, working out, and training. He also loves to go to the movies with his wife.

Dan Rose, Apponoquet  DIVISION 2
		When he began his sixth year as head coach, Rose’s team was expected to win. He has never had a losing year at Apponoquet, and had run off three 20-win seasons. So he took it up a notch, winning 21 games and setting a school record this season. But Rose’s leadership wasn’t the only thing that got Apponoquet its fourth straight South Coast Conference title; he also credits the leadership of his seniors. All this leadership resulted in a trip to the semifinals of the Division 2 South sectional championship, where they lost to Duxbury. He is a graduate of Dighton-Rehoboth and Boston State College. He received his Masters from Bridgewater State. Rose also doubles (and triples) as the Apponoquet girls’ basketball coach and the golf coach. His hobbies include traveling, golf, freshwater fishing, canoeing, and, of course, tennis.

David Anderson, Sandwich  SOPHOMORE
		Anderson didn’t have much room to improve in his sophomore year. Already an All-Scholastic, Anderson completed his second consecutive undefeated season at 18-0. He scored the South sectional championship as a freshman, and grabbed his second title this year. The only thing left for the super sophomore to win is the individual state title, and he has two more years to do that. Anderson is ranked No. 1 in the USTA New England 16-and-under division and he is ranked 73d in the nation. He is on the high honor roll and enjoys basketball, soccer, and Ultimate Frisbee. Anderson will try to pile up more wins by participating in USTA team tournaments this summer.

Peter Antons, Duxbury  SENIOR
		At 6-10, 165 pounds, Antons might be the tallest and skinniest kid on the tennis courts of Massachusetts. But the senior, who has not lost a set this season, let alone a match, leaves no doubt about his skills. A member of the undefeated Duxbury team, he is ranked 12th in New England and 180th in the country in the USTA 18-and-under division. An honor roll student, Antons said he likes to play just about any sport, including soccer and skiing. His hobbies include being with his friends and traveling.

Chris Baker, Lexington  SENIOR
		Baker is half of one of the top doubles teams in the state. With his partner Benjamin Guth, Baker went undefeated (15-0) in the regular season. The winning streak continued during the MIAA individual tournament, where they became North sectional doubles champions by defeating Dave Tufts and Caleb Koufman of Manchester-Essex, 6-3, 6-2. This isn’t the first doubles championship for Baker as he captured the same title as a sophomore. A three-time Middlesex League All-Star, Baker was the Minuteman captain in his junior and senior years. His hobbies include Ping-Pong, softball, and soccer. In the fall, Baker heads to Washington University in St. Louis.

Mark Berajawala, Concord-Carlisle  SENIOR

Brennan Dugas, Falmouth  SENIOR
		A former singles player, Dugas showed he could play just as well with a partner, teaming up with Mike Leahy for Falmouth. The two not only never lost a match (22-0), but didn’t drop a single set in the regular season. In the South sectional individual tournament, the two fell in the finals to Wellesley’s Jordan Rhodes and Nathan Green, 6-3, 7-5. Dugas is an honor roll student and a Falmouth cheerleader. He enjoys all sports, particularly volleyball, and likes to play paintball and the guitar. Still a year away from entering college, he has plans to major in engineering.

Nathan Green, Wellesley  JUNIOR

He advanced to the semifinals of the MIAA South sectional tournament where he was knocked out by Sandwich’s Dave Anderson, 6-3, 6-2. Micheroni, at second singles, helped his team advance to the finals of the South team tournament.

Chip Palumbo, Winchester  SENIOR
		Winning is commonplace for Palumbo, the 5-7, 140-pound senior who has managed a 60-5 career record. This season, Palumbo advanced to the finals of the North sectional individual tournament, where he lost to Newton South’s Alex Rastorgouev, 6-2, 6-0. That didn’t cloud an otherwise exceptional season for Palumbo, during which he went 15-0 while his two-time state champion Winchester team went 18-0. Palumbo was a member of the honor roll and maintained a 3.1 grade point average. Palumbo will go on to play Division 1 tennis at Fairfield University and over the summer, he will hone his skills at the Northeast Tennis Center in Middleton.

Alex Rastorgouev, Newton South  SENIOR
		The first singles player for powerhouse Brookline, Rastorgouev had his second consecutive undefeated season. This year he also won his second consecutive All-Scholastic selection by winning his second consecutive North sectional championship.

In the 16-and-under division in USTA New England, Redmond is ranked 25th. As a sophomore, Redmond was undefeated in the second singles spot. He’s not short on smarts either as he is a member of the National Honor Society. Redmond is undecided on his college plans but for this summer, he is content to play USTA tennis.

Jordan Rhodes, Wellesley  SENIOR
		In six of the last seven years, Wellesley had advanced to the state semifinals, but stalled there. With the help of Rhodes and his partner Nathan Green, Wellesley got over the hump and advanced to the state finals. The first doubles team was a force this year, not dropping a set and becoming South sectional doubles champions. For his efforts, Rhodes was selected team captain and Most Valuable Player. Rhodes is the starting goalkeeper on the varsity soccer team. Outside of sports, he is a member of the jazz band. In the fall, he will attend Trinity College and over the summer, he will participate in USTA tournaments.

Jake Toole, Sharon  SOPHOMORE
		To be on an 18-0 league championship team is impressive. To be the No. 1 singles player as a sophomore on that team is even more impressive. Toole earned the right to take the top spot by, what else, never losing. In two years of varsity play, Toole has not dropped a single regular-season match, going 11-0 this year. He finally lost in the semifinals of the South sectional to Sandwich’s David Anderson, 6-3, 6-1.

Bob Beatty, Scituate  DIVISION 1
		Beatty isn’t lacking confidence ... in his team. ‘‘I feel we have the top three singles players in the state, top to bottom,’’ he said. And they, along with the ‘‘aggressive’’ doubles team, certainly played like it, finishing the season with a 16-2 record and a Patriot League championship. This top-notch record isn’t surprising, considering Beatty’s seven-year record of 116-18. In the playoffs, the Sailors advanced to the semifinals of the MIAA Division 1 South tournament. The 1972 graduate of Boston College is also the coach of the boys’ golf and ski team. His hobbies are skiing, golf, tennis, traveling, chess, and being a parent.

Donna Cullen, Medway  DIVISION 2
		This Tri-Valley Coach of the Year did what she could with a team of mostly sophomores — and then some. She led Medway to a 12-4 record in her first year as a head coach (she spent seven as the assistant, a big improvement for a team that went 3-14 the year before. ‘‘The team was very focused and very willing to listen to instruction during a match, willing to adjust their strategy,’’ she said. Medway fell early in the state tournament, but Cullen isn’t shying away from continuing the youth movement next year. ‘‘[I’m] looking forward to next year, we’ve got some freshmen that look very promising.’’

Amanda Arthur, Concord-Carlisle  SOPHOMORE

At Concord-Carlisle, she helped her team win a state title last year and was a member of the varsity volleyball team in her freshman and sophomore years. In California, Arthur will pursue her interests in music, piano, chorus, dancing, running and, of course, chocolate. Arthur is hoping to attend the University of California-Berkeley, Stanford, or Brown.

Susan Bitetti, Norwell  FRESHMAN
		There is a good chance this won’t be the last time Bitetti’s name appears on these pages. Only a freshman, Bitetti took down Cohasset’s Elizabeth Stone, one of the South’s best players, 7-5, 6-3, in the sectional championship. She dropped just one match this year, to Stone, going 22-1 in her first season. In the USTA singles rankings for New England, she is No. 5 for 16-and-under.

She keeps herself busy in the fall season by playing on the soccer team. This summer, she will join teammates Colleen and Kerri Murray playing USA team tennis.

Lauren Donnelly, Barnstable  JUNIOR
		Though Donnelly will lose her doubles partner to graduation this season, the Barnstable team still has a good chance of continuing its doubles dominance with junior Donnelly on the squad.

Elizabeth Stone, Cohasset  SENIOR

No pressure, no problem: Lacey and her partner, Lauren Donnelly, are well on their way after a victory over Bishop Feehan’s Kerri Murray and Colleen Murray, 6-3, 6-2 in the South sectional championship. The pair went 18-0 this season and Lacey was named an Old Colony League All-Star. This is the third selection to the All-Star team for Lacey, who has had three undefeated varsity seasons. Lacey will graduate in the top 10 percent of her class, not surprising considering her 3.6 grade point average. Lacey will attend the University of Miami.

Ania Preneta, Boston Latin  SENIOR

She helped her team become Middlesex League champion, and was named a Middlesex League All-Star for the third consecutive year. She couldn’t keep her undefeated streak alive in the state individual tornament, losing to Jenna Goldfine, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, but she’s only a junior.

Tasha Stone, Concord-Carlisle  SOPHOMORE
