The Half Hollow Hills East Varsity Girls Tennis Team has officially clinched the division title for the third straight year, continuing an incredible era of dominance for the program.

The Thunderbirds have now captured the division crown five times in the past six years, a testament to the program’s consistency, depth, and commitment to excellence.

Not only did they secure another championship, but they did it in the most impressive way possible — by completing the season undefeated. Hills East finished the regular season with a perfect 13-0 overall record, including a 10-0 mark in divisional play. That is pure perfection at this level. 

The team’s dominance was on full display throughout the fall. In seven of their thirteen matches, the Thunderbirds won by a flawless 7-0 score, showcasing their strength across both singles and doubles play. In another match, they posted a convincing 6-1 victory, rarely allowing their opponents much room to compete. In fact, none of their opponents scored more than three sets against them in any match this season. 

Behind the success is a group of talented and hardworking athletes who continue to raise the standard for excellence on and off the court. Their teamwork, focus, and dedication have made Hills East one of the premier tennis programs on Long Island. The tradition of excellence has been established and carried on by this year's team. 

To close out the regular season, both the Hills East and Hills West Varsity Girls Tennis teams came together for a special Pink Day event in support of breast cancer awareness. Players from both programs wore pink to show unity and raise awareness for the important cause, capping off a season filled with achievement, sportsmanship, and heart.

For the third consecutive year, Hills East stands alone atop the division — undefeated, united, and unstoppable.

Don't Expect Bregman to Pay Off

This week, one of the bigger names in the free agency cycle signed with the Chicago Cubs, and fantasy managers everywhere sighed. Usually, anyone heading to Wrigley Field is viewed as a positive, but for Alex Bregman, more information has emerged suggesting this move could spell trouble for his fantasy outlook. Bregman is a right-handed pull hitter who previously played in two of the more favorable home parks for that profile in Houston and Boston. Both parks feature short left-field dimensions that reward pulled fly balls and help inflate power numbers.

Futures Bettors Will Be Smiling

The College Football Championship is set, and it pits two of the more unlikely teams against each other. Indiana may have the largest living alumni base in the country, with more than 800,000 graduates, but few expected the Hoosiers to reach this stage. They feature zero five-star recruits and have instead relied on depth, discipline, and consistency while dominating all season long.
