Lebanon’s No. 1 tandem of Jacob Peress and Terran Campbell had the most successful day. Seeded first in the 27-team tournament, Peress and Campbell held a first-round bye before beating Souhegan in the second. The Raiders’ run ended in the quarterfinals to Exeter, which topped Hanover’s No. 1 duo of Graham Dickson and Benny Gantrish in the second round, 8-3. Dickson and Gantrish advanced out of the opening round on a walkover.
Hanover’s John He and Aidan Biglow also had a similar experience. Their first-round foes from Portsmouth Christian didn’t arrive, so the Marauder tandem moved on to the second round and were eliminated by Winnacunnet, 8-1.
Originally scheduled for June 5, the tournament was twice postponed by rain and didn’t start on Sunday until after two more rain delays.
