Geneva freshman Tucker Fishback closed out the 2026 Finger Lakes boys tennis season unbeaten at first singles in the East division. Naples senior Colin Kenney earned the league’s top honor, the Roger Meadway Award, for sportsmanship and character in the West. The all-league teams span six schools—Geneva, Palmyra-Macedon, Wayne, Naples, Mynderse Academy, and Bloomfield—and recognize both singles and doubles standouts. Fishback’s perfect league run at first singles anchors the East side selections, while Kenney’s award caps a season defined by competitive excellence and leadership. Honors also flowed to doubles teams: Palmyra-Macedon’s top duo finished with a 10-0 league record, Wayne’s No. 2 doubles went 9-1, and Naples’ second doubles team posted an 8-2 mark. Mynderse Academy and Bloomfield each placed two players on the all-league list, underscoring depth beyond the headline names. The league’s balance of power is shifting, with Palmyra-Macedon’s doubles dominance and Geneva’s freshman breakthrough signaling a transfer of momentum from traditional powerhouses like Naples. Geneva head coach Mark Reynolds called Fishback’s season “a masterclass in consistency,” noting the freshman dropped just four games in his final five matches. Naples athletic director Lisa Corso praised Kenney as “the kind of student-athlete who lifts everyone around him,” tying his sportsmanship to the Meadway Award’s legacy. Reynolds’s emphasis on Fishback’s composure under pressure reflects a broader trend: Finger Lakes tennis is increasingly valuing mental resilience alongside technical skill, a shift mirrored in the league’s broader coaching philosophies. The Finger Lakes league’s decision to spotlight both performance and character underscores a deliberate strategy to cultivate well-rounded athletes. By pairing Fishback’s statistical dominance with Kenney’s intangible leadership, the league reinforces that success in tennis—like in life—requires more than just wins and losses. This year’s selections also reveal a generational shift, with freshmen like Fishback and balanced programs like Palmyra-Macedon challenging the historical dominance of Naples and Mynderse Academy. The league’s evolving competitive landscape is further evidenced by the rise of doubles specialists. Programs like Wayne and Naples, traditionally singles-focused, now field competitive doubles teams that can swing matches. This tactical evolution reflects a league-wide adaptation to modern tennis trends, where versatility across singles and doubles is becoming a prerequisite for success. Coaches are increasingly prioritizing players who can contribute in multiple roles, a strategy that has paid dividends for Palmyra-Macedon’s top duo and others.

What’s next: The league will host an awards banquet on June 12 at the Seneca Meadows Golf Club to formally present the all-league certificates and the Roger Meadway Award. Local colleges and junior programs are expected to scout the honorees for summer camps and potential roster spots. The banquet will also serve as a networking hub for coaches and college recruiters, with several programs already expressing interest in Fishback and Kenney for their 2027 recruiting cycles. ## Why this matters High school all-league tennis honors do more than crown winners—they preserve a community’s sporting history and signal to colleges and clubs which players are worth watching. For towns like Geneva and Naples, these recognitions validate years of practice while giving younger players tangible role models. The Meadway Award, in particular, reinforces that sportsmanship remains a core value in Finger Lakes athletics. This year’s selections also highlight the league’s evolving competitive landscape, where freshmen and doubles specialists are reshaping traditional hierarchies and forcing coaches to adapt their development pipelines. The rise of Palmyra-Macedon’s doubles dominance and Geneva’s freshman breakthrough marks a clear shift in the league’s power dynamics, with implications for recruiting and program-building across the region. ## Frequently asked ### Which schools are included in the Finger Lakes boys tennis league?
