Newburgh will have its No. 1 singles player, junior Dennis Sult, a two-time Section 9 finalist, back for its match against Washingtonville Monday. Sult missed the team’s first two matches with an ankle injury.

“It’s a tough question that I’ve been wrestling with,” Maher said. “Danny is playing well. Jacques and Vince been there the last few years. I haven’t officially decided what to do yet. It’s a good (problem) to have.”
Newburgh’s lineup is so deep that senior Joe Borden, an experience varsity player, is competing at second doubles. Seventh-graders Tyler Reede and Jarrett Monte are playing first doubles.
