La Cueva and Albuquerque Academy shared the riches at the state team tennis championships.
The Academy boys, for the 19th consecutive time, won state. The Chargers were Class 1A-4A champs, as were the Academy girls.
CLASS 1A-4A: The top-seeded Academy boys blanked No. 7 St. Michael’s 5-0 in the championship match, and Academy only graduates only one senior off this team.
“We’ll be (as) deep or deeper next year,” Chargers coach Mike Cheves said. “These boys worked hard this year. There’s a lot of camaraderie, and this was a tremendous end to an outstanding year.”
The Chargers didn’t lose a match this spring, and their team showing came after they went 1-2 in doubles, and had three of the top four singles players, in the individual portion of state.
