In 2012, The Racquet Club of Lake Bluff put a Men’s Singles team together and won the league championship. Fast forward to 2017 and for the 4th year in a row, RCLB has won the championship for the Men’s 4.5 Singles. Congratulations to their team for that accomplishment! North Shore was this year’s opponent. Their captain, Jerry Morse-Karzen, played on court 1 against RCLB’s captain Peter Krizman. While both players had played the day before, Jerry played two matches to Peter’s one 3-set match. And while Jerry put up a good fight, not reflected in the score, fatigue and Peter’s play gave RCLB their court 1 win. Mike Raymond, Nick Andres and John Pucin rounded out RCLB’s team with wins against NSRC’s team of Clay McLaughlin, Steve Rodgers and Joe McCartney. RCLB won the finals 4-0 and took home the trophy for the 4th year in a row!
