After six failed attempts, 13th-seeded Latin Academy boys' tennis breaks through to reach Division 3 semifinals
The comebacks lifted the 13th-seeded Dragons (15-6) to an upset victory over No. 5 Medfield (14-3) in the Division 3 quarterfinals at Wimbledon Metrowest Tennis & Pickleball Club in Walpole. Latin Academy faces top-seeded Bedford in a semifinal matchup next week. Advertisement 'They are smart players, and they make the most of their talents,' Crane said. 'This was a really tight match that could have gone either way, but just really proud of our doubles guys. To both be down one set and come back, that shows a lot.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Senior captain Hewitt Ngo gave the Dragons a strong start, cruising to a 6-2, 6-3 win at second singles. It was the second-straight match Latin needed every point, having survived No. 4 Apponequet by a 3-2 margin just three days earlier. 'We have the depth that we haven't had in the past,' Crane said. 'And it took a while for the team to come together. Our record was good, but we weren't playing our best tennis until we got to the playoffs.' Advertisement For Crane, whose roster draws from schools across the city, the achievement resonated as a milestone in the program's sustained period of success. 'This is a no-cut team with about 35 kids this year. We take all comers and teach even new players a game that they'll play forever,' Crane said. 'And so there's a lot of excitement across the board here about what this team accomplished.' Matty Wasserman can be reached at

Dolphins destroy Dragons in record-breaking win
The Dolphins have rocketed into the top eight for the first time this year with a 56-6 demolition of St George Illawarra on what is officially known as Queensland Day. That could easily be rebranded Dolphins Day on the back of another scintillating display by halfback Isaiya Katoa. The Dolphins started the season 0-4 but head coach Kristian Woolf kept true to his systems and did not panic. The so-called 'Wayne Bennett curse' has been spooked into oblivion. The only downside for the Dolphins, now in seventh on the ladder, was a knee injury to forward Max Plath on his return from a foot issue. The opening 40 minutes on Friday night was a pure rugby league clinic as the home side rocketed to a 28-2 halftime lead at Suncorp Stadium. The second half was just as good. The forwards and backs were punishing in defence, halves Kodi Nikorima and Katoa combined in a masterclass and to a man the Dolphins played scintillating attacking rugby league. The diabolical Dragons simply had no answer. The Dolphins had their previous biggest winning margin over St George Illawarra in a 38-0 victory last year but this record breaker was another level, surpassing the 44 points they had notched on two previous occasions. When second-rower Connelly Lemuelu stormed over for his second try four minutes after the break Nikorima and Katoa had two try assists each. Fullback Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow then put the nail in the Dragons' coffin for a runaway try in combination with centre Jake Averillo, who was brilliant with three try assists. Katoa landed a 40/20 and then laid on a try for winger Jamayne Isaako's second try. Dolphins hitman Felise Kaufusi set the scene early with a back slam on centre Valentine Holmes to dislodge the ball. From that moment the Dolphins dominated. Grab your popcorn because the Dolphins are putting on a SHOW! 🍿#NRLDolphinsDragons — NRL (@NRL) June 6, 2025 The depth of the Dolphins' attacking line was a sight to behold and it was star centre Herbie Farnworth who crossed for his 50th career try in the 11th minute after a sweeping right to left play. Winger Jamayne Isaako added a second in the right corner after a mirror image play for a 10-2 lead. Katoa was pivotal in both by going deep into the line to create space. He then beat three men and Nikorima raced away to score. A towering bomb by Katoa was expertly snaffled by Lemuelu for a 22-2 lead. Dolphins winger Jack Bostock haunted opposite number Nathan Lawson, the former Australian rugby sevens Olympian. Bostock smashed Lawson in one huge hit and then leapt above him to score after a Nikorima bomb. The Dragons lost winger Christian Tuipulotu to a hamstring injury in the first half on his return from the same complaint while forward Raymond Faitala-Mariner left the field in the second half with shortness of breath.

Steve Haag Sports/Gallo Images 1h ago Sights set on Dublin 💪 Here is your Glasgow Warriors team to take on Leinster in tomorrow's #BKTURC Semi Final! 👊 📰 📺 @PremSportsTV #WhateverItTakes | @MackenzieConstr — Glasgow Warriors (@GlasgowWarriors) June 6, 2025 1h ago 1h ago 1h ago Jake backs Goosen pedigree to start at 10 for Bulls Bulls director of rugby Jake White has backed Johan Goosen's pedigree in their United Rugby Championship semi-final against the Sharks at Loftus on Saturday. Goosen, who has had an on-and-off season with injury and last played for the Bulls against Cardiff in their penultimate game of the regular season, is the only change to the starting line-up in place of Keagan Johannes. Johannes, who has delivered strong performances when filling in for Goosen, moves to the bench where backline player Stedman Gans makes way. The Bulls have named Jan-Hendrik Wessels, Johan Grobbelaar and Wilco Louw to face up to the Sharks' Bok front row, while Cameron Hanekom, Marcell Coetzee and Ruan Nortje make up a formidable loose trio. Willie le Roux is at fullback, with Canan Moodie and Sebastian de Klerk the fliers on the wings. Bulls team 15 Willie le Roux, 14 Canan Moodie, 13 David Kriel, 12 Harold Voster, 11 Sebastian de Klerk, 10 Johan Goosen, 9 Embrose Papier, 8 Cameron Hanekom, 7 Ruan Nortje (captain), 6 Marcell Coetzee, 5 JF van Heerden, 4 Cobus Wiese, 3 Wilco Louw, 2 Johan Grobbelaar, 1 Jan-Hendrik Wessels Substitutes: 16 Akker van der Merwe, 17 Simphiwe Matanzima, 18 Mornay Smith, 19 Jannes Kirsten, 20 Marco van Staden, 21 Zak Burger, 22 Keagan Johannes, 23 Devon Williams 3h ago No Etzebeth for Sharks in Loftus showdown with Bulls The Sharks will start with a new lock pairing in their United Rugby Championship semi-final against the Bulls, after skipper Eben Etzebeth picked up an injury during training this week. Etzebeth, who has spent substantial time on the sidelines this season, will miss the Sharks' biggest game of the season. Sharks coach John Plumtree said on Friday that Etzebeth suffered a head knock during training earlier this week and a call was made not to field him this weekend. 'He took a knock a head knock at training and we decided that it's best not to risk him this week,' Plumtree said. 'We made a pretty early call and he's feeling a lot better, by the way. He's been communicating with me and the team. 'I'm not too concerned and, if we go through, he'll be available for next week." Etzebeth is expected to be with the Springboks on Sunday as he is part of the recently announced training squad. The 33-year-old has joined his lock partner, Jason Jenkins, who is also on the mend after leaving the field with an injury in last weekend's quarter-final clash against Munster. Plumtree's hand has been forced in starting with the lock pairing of Corne Rahl and Emile van Heerden. The Sharks' forward pack is made up of an all-Springbok front row in Ox Nche, Bongi Mbonambi and Vincent Koch. Siya Kolisi will captain the team in the No 8 jersey, with James Venter and Vincent Tshituka completing the loose trio. The Hendrikse brothers, Jaden and Jordan, will form the halfback pairing with Andre Esterhuizen and Lukhanyo Am in midfield. Makazole Mapimpi and Ethan Hooker will be on the wings with Aphelele Fassi at fullback. The one change on the bench that stands out is Jurenzo Julius taking the place of Francois Venter. Kick-off at Loftus Versfeld for the last four clash is at 18:15. Sharks team 15 Aphelele Fassi, 14 Ethan Hooker, 13 Lukanyo Am, 12 Andre Esterhuizen, 11 Makazole Mapimpi, 10 Jordan Hendrikse, 9 Jaden Hendrikse, 8 Siya Kolisi, 7 Vincent Tshituka, 6 James Venter, 5 Emile van Heerden, 4 Corne Rahl, 3 Vincent Koch, 2 Bongi Mbonambi, 1 Ox Nche.
