WRENTHAM - Lucas DeForest was forced to overcome a one-set deficit. Sanjeeva Chetty was forced to overcome a straight-set loss earlier in the season, having won just two games.

And along with the always-sturdy and commendable play from senior captain Matt Pereira at No. 2 singles, the North Attleboro High boys' tennis team avenged an early-season loss by stunning King Philip 3-2 Tuesday in a Hockomock League match.

DeForest rallied from that early deficit and a 5-4 second set deficit at No. 1 singles in his match with KP senior slugger Duncan Yarworth, taking a second set tiebreaker 7-4 and the match-deciding third set 6-4.

Chetty, a sophomore, meanwhile avenged a shellacking by KP's Harrison David at No. 3 singles, taking the first set 6-5 and then dominating the second set.

Pereira, who stunned Needham's No. 1 singles player in the first round of the MIAA Singles Tournament, never allowed KP's Tyler Burks a comfort zone. North (10-4) travels to Stoughton today, while KP (14-2) entertains OA.

Kyle Nyskohus scored a straight-set shutout at No. 1 singles as claimed a 5-0 victory over Bishop Stang in an Eastern Athletic Conference match. The Shamrocks (6-4, 5-2 EAC) will host Bishop Connolly on Thursday afternoon.

Nate Fuller and Erik Klinkhammer each lost just two games in winning their respective No. 1 and 2 singles matches as scored a 4-1 victory over Case in a South Coast Conference match.

Dighton-Rehoboth (8-1) will travel to Bourne for a conference match on Thursday afternoon.

Also in the SCC, (1-8) dropped a 3-2 decision to Bourne. Ricky Silva and Nathan Rochefort won their respective No. 1 and 3 singles matches for the Warriors, who meet Apponequet today.

Tri-Valley League power Dover-Sherborn handled for the second time this season, handing the Lancers a 5-0 loss. The undefeated and first-place Raiders didn't lose a set in putting this one in the 'W' column. However, Norton's No. 2 doubles team of Ryan Kok and Zach Schleicher fought hard before losing their match 6-3 and 7-6.

Norton (11-5) hosts Medfield today.
