Adams Central scored a 4-1 win against long-time rival Norwell Thursday on the Jets’ home courts, with the No. 2 doubles team showing some heart and determination on the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just six players, Norwell was forced to forfeit at No. 3 singles. The Knights’ only win came at No. 1 doubles, where Ryan Heyerly and Brady Watkins avoided the shutout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zack Frank was especially lethal for the home team, dropping just one game in his straight-set win in the top singles match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
