When it comes to boys tennis, Albuquerque Academy is one of the most dominant high school sports programs, not only in New Mexico, but in the country. The Chargers have won 17 state championships in a row. “We have a pretty good team,” said sophomore Josh Simon. “Everyone is playing really well this year, so it’s going pretty good.”
The 17 consecutive state titles is the longest current streak in the country for boys tennis and third longest ever in the sport. A big reason for their success is depth. “Our top six are solid,” said head coach Mike Cheves. “We have some great players, some young players, some guys who are tenacious and get after it. So far, so good.”
