The Fair Lawn High School Boys Volleyball team will face Don Bosco Thursday in a 2012 Bergen County Tournament title rematch after knocking off Teaneck Tuesday in the tourney semis.
Despite a subpar showing in the Super Six Showcase this past weekend against the top boys volleyball squads in the state, Fair Lawn showed Tuesday that it's still the team to beat in Bergen County. The Cutters cruised to an easy victory over Teaneck in the Bergen County tournament semifinals, 25-17; 25-8, to set up a rematch of last year's county tournament final with defending county champion Don Bosco. Bosco ended Fair Lawn's run of three consecutive county titles last year, beating the Cutters in three sets, 17-25; 25-23; 25-17, on Fair Lawn's court. The Cutters played the game without two of their top players, Luke St. John and Chris Nugent, who were battling injuries. St. John has since graduated, but the Cutters will have Nugent, the…

The Bergen County Boys Tennis Tournament began this weekend.
Fair Lawn is tied for the points lead after the first day of the Bergen County Boys Tennis tournament, but the team is in a more precarious situation than its coach had anticipated. The Cutters' three singles players all won twice to advance to the semifinals, but both of the school's doubles teams were knocked out in the quarters, coach Matthew Markman said. Markman said he hadn't counted on a quarterfinals win from first doubles, which had been seeded eighth, but called the loss of his No. 2-seeded second doubles team an upset. "We made way too many errors and gave away too many free points," he said of second doubles' loss to Old Tappan. The squad can still win the county tournament on points if the three remaining singles players excel…
