Holger Nissen only drops one game in route to the MIAA C Conference Championship.

Holger Nissen ’26 finished off a dominating year in boys tennis and ended the season ranked the top singles player in the conference. Nissen finished the regular season undefeated, never dropping more than one game in any set, culminating in the number one overall seed in the MIAA C conference tennis tournament and a first-round bye.

In the semifinals, Nissen took on the fourth-seed, Key School’s Luke Holmes. Nissen did not let an early bye slow down his momentum, as he cruised to a 6-0, 6-0 victory earning a spot in the finals.

The conference championship pitted the conference’s top two finishers against each other. Nissen faced two seed George Julias of St. John’s Catholic Prep. Once again, Nissen continued where he left off in the regular season, only dropping one game en route to a 6-0, 6-1 victory.

Holger Nissen became the 2023 MIAA C Conference #1 singles champion in dominant fashion.

Despite this season being his first coaching Nissen, Dan White knew he had the makings of a champion. “Holger embodies outstanding characteristics such as hard work, leadership, understanding, and determination. He worked hard on and off the court, attending extra practice sessions, and offering strategies to help his team. It is truly something special to see him play.”

Nissen wasn’t the only Dragon representing GCS in the finals. Nathan Wang ’25 earned the second seed in the MIAA C Conference #2 singles tournament and a first-round bye. Wang defeated St. John’s Prep’s third-seeded Chloe West 6-3, 6-2 in the semifinals. Wang finished second, falling to top-seeded Ryan Hart of Key School in the finals 6-1, 6-0.

Congratulations to Nissen and Wang for earning MIAA All-C Conference honors and Nissen for earning the MIAA C Conference Player of the Year award!
