CONWAY — Bishop Brady rallied from a 4-2 deficit to sweep the doubles to post a come-from-behind 5-4 victory over the Kennett High girls’ tennis team in the Division II quarterfinals at the Jon C. Judge Tennis Park on Tuesday. It was a heartbreaking loss for the Eagles, who were narrowly edged 8-6 in the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles, which were both nail-biters.

The New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association adopted an open tournament format with tennis this spring due to the coronavirus, allowing schools to play a regional schedule and out of the division.
