Becker was the only Blue Bomber to compete in the singles tournament, as the squad switched Parker Scanio, who had occupied the No. 2 singles position during the regular season, over to doubles. There were 30 doubles teams competing between the nine Section VII schools. Only the top three teams earned berths to the state tournament. All four Lake Placid doubles squads were eliminated in the first round.

Becker earned his spot at states with a quarterfinals win on Wednesday, as the top four singles players go on to Flushing Meadows. Becker, who came into sectionals as the No. 1 seed, cruised through the early rounds. He won his opening match against Plattsburgh’s Soumar Bachawaty 6-1, 6-0. In the quarterfinals, he defeated Seton Catholic’s Kevin Nguyen 6-3, 6-3.

In the semifinals, Becker took on Peru’s Collin Powers, whom he had faced the day before in a lengthy and close-fought match, with Becker pulling it off 6-4, 7-6 (7-5) to cap off the regular season.

However, Powers’ physicality and ability to grind down extended rallies proved decisive on May 28. He flipped the script from the regular season, winning 7-5, 6-3 to hand Becker his only loss of the season, so far.

After a day of rest, Becker bounced back to win the consolation match to earn third. Making masterful use of his slice, tossing in the occasional drop shot and banking on his big serve, Becker found his groove and grew stronger as the match went on. He defeated Northeastern Clinton’s Kaze Carpenter 7-5, 6-1.

In the finals, Powers pulled off another upset, defeating the tournament’s No. 2 seed, Beekmantown’s Dylan Brown, 7-5, 6-3.

The Blue Bombers did not have the day it was hoping for in doubles. Scanio teamed up with Porter Dominesey, who had played No. 1 doubles for most of the regular season. They were defeated in the first round by Northeastern Clinton’s Maxx Rabideau and Colton Castine 3-6, 6-0, 6-1.

The Blue Bombers’ regular season No. 2 doubles team of Levi Barney and Liam Gotham fell in the first round to Peru’s Connor Perotte and Evan Bruback, 6-1, 6-2. The two squads had just faced off against each other the day before, with a similar scoreline as the Nighthawks won that regular season match 6-2, 6-0.

Perotte and Bruback lost in the next round to Northeastern Clinton’s Cade Brooks and Jacob Martin, who, in turn, had defeated Lake Placid’s Alberth Gamez and Samir Dimuccio in the first round 6-0, 6-2. The Blue Bombers’ Ian Munson and Hayden Damour were defeated by Beekmantown’s Jack Thebert and Max Danville 6-3, 6-2. The Eagles were blanked 6-0, 6-0 in the next round by the eventual sectional champions team of Kingston Tucker and Parker Manor of Northern Adirondack.
