On Tuesday, April 8th, the boys' varsity tennis team made the long trek up Interstate 84 and Route 10 to the Westminster campus in Simsbury, Ct., for the first official match of our spring season.  We began our match in auspicious fashion, with ninth grader Jerrod Dobkin teaming up with twelfth grade teammate Kyle Alpern at #3 doubles and blanking their Westminster opponents, 8--0.  Tri-captains Marty Keil and David Zackheim then followed with an 8--3 victory at #2 doubles, thus clinching the doubles point for Hopkins.
 
    In the singles play, Hopkins proved to be the stronger team in the middle of our lineup, with #2 Nicolas Scholz, #3 Jerrod Dobkin, #4 Marty Keil, and #5 David Zackheim all prevailing with straight set victories, while #1 Bobby Berkowitz and #6 Chris Wright wound up being bested in close and very hard fought matches.  So Hopkins emerged with a well deserved 5--2 victory over a game and persistent Westminster team.
