Stevenson to remain unbeaten

  Salem's tennis team will be taking a heavy dose of momentum into Thursday's crucial KLAA Central Division match against Northville thanks to Tuesday's 6-3 triumph over visiting Livonia Stevenson.

  The Rocks improved to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the division.

  Led by No. 1 player Jacob Scott's decisive 6-1, 6-0 victory over Kevin Francisco, the Rocks swept the four singles matches.

  Also notching impressive singles wins were No. 2 Brock Foster, who was a 6-1, 6-1 winner over Josh Rochette; No. 3 Brett Foster, who bounced Vince Sabatini, 6-3 and 6-3; and No. 4 standout Dion Walker, who rocked Marcus McCaffney, 6-3, 6-3.

  The Spartans captured three of the five doubles encounters, but it wasn't enough.

  Stevenson's Josh York and Paul Franchina defeated Josh Perrin and Mike Keum, 6-4, 6-4 at No. 1 doubles while Kaeman Rayos and Chad Northey upended Salem's Scott Devine and Zenik Pelekh, 6-2, 6-2 at No. 2 doubles.
