SALEM – Salem swept the doubles while pouncing on Bedford North Lawrence 4-1 during boys high school tennis action on Thursday.

Asher Thompson posted the lone win for the Stars (7-8) at No.2 singles. He recorded a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Brady Davis.

“He played a kid who could whack the ball,” BNL coach Ian Dillman said. “Asher has grown to be able to hit fast-paced shots and slow them down, to mess up the rhythm of his opponents.”

Salem’s Griffin Richards rolled past Jackson Corey 6-0, 6-1 at No.1 singles, while Carter Richards rebounded from a tough first set to stop Wyatt Corbin 2-6, 6-0, 6-0 at No.3.
