The Woodland Dragons defeated the Calais Blue Devils boys tennis team 3-2 on Wednesday ending a streak of 40 consecutive regular season wins by the school.

Jim Jo Harvey and Matt James staked Woodland to an early lead by taking the first two singles matches.

Freshman Nick Leon stopped the bleeding for three-time defending Eastern Maine Champion Calais by taking a match from Tim Sears 8-3. Aaron Clark and Shaun Dow tied the match with an 8-5 doubles victory.

Woodland’s Bob Chandler and Jon Doucette ended the streak with an 8-4 victory in the final doubles match.

“I lost three seniors from last year and thought we would be in a rebuilding year,” said Calais coach Peter Leon. “But we’ve had a lot of 3-2 matches that we have won. We just couldn’t pull it off.”

Calais is now 9-1 on the season and Woodland improves to 7-3.
