Mauled by the Bulldogs

Once again, the New Fairfield High School boys tennis team proved to be no match for the competition. In front of a home crowd of dozens, the courageous Rebels were toppled by an average Bulldogs team in what was anticipated to be one of their more winnable matches this season. The outlook is grim for a veteran Rebels team with a lot of potential that hasn't quite learned to win yet. Up next are the SWC powerhouse Weston Trojans, featuring preppy, skilled, well-coached, and even some foreign players. The Rebels will truly need a Trojan Horse of their own to pull off the greatest upset in American sports since Appalachian State beat a fifth ranked Michigan team in football.
