The Bayport-Blue Point girls tennis team were able to not only beat Cold Spring Harbor, but also overcome their own history when they won the Long Island championship this weekend.
The new Suffolk County champions were going into their fourth straight Long Island small school title match, having losing the past three. Not only were they taking on that history of close, but no cigar, they were also facing the same Cold Spring Harbor team that beat them the past two years.
The Phantoms overcame that and finally had their title. To add even more drama to the day the Bayport-Blue Point needed to take the last two matches in a third set to win the best-of-five contest.
The inexperienced, but dynamic eighth-graders Jordana Heller and Leila Rogers led the way with victories and Lily Castka completed a rally to win.
With that win Bayport-Blue Point won its first Long Island championship and finished with a 19-0 season mark.
