With just a few matches left in the regular season, the Norwell Knights made a statement in their quest to win their first sectional title since 2016 by beating Adams Central with four wins in straight sets Wednesday night.
The four seniors in the Norwell lineup continued their dominance in 2023 with wins at the top two singles slots and another at No. 1 doubles. Norwell lost just eight games in those six sets.
The lone winner for Adams Central was No. 3 Logan Heiman, who beat Gavin Reynolds 6-4, 6-4.
The Jets now face a potential rematch with their season on the line next week, either in the opening round or in the semifinals, depending on Monday night’s draw at the IHSAA offices.
