We’re in that time when local high school teams are either in the final wee of their regular seasons, or are already starting postseason play.

On Tuesday, we had both in the area,and here’s the rundown:

GIRLS TENNIS PRELIMS

DIVISION II

NO. 6 HOLLIS BROOKLINE 5, NO. 11 PEMBROKE 4

The Cavs advanced to Thursday’s quarterfinals at No. 3 Timberlane, with two matches cut short due to Pembroke injury/illness.

Anna Heiplik (8-0) and Max Walsh (8-4) won in singles, while the two teamed up for a strong win in No. 1 doubles.

NO. 8 BOW, NO. 9 ALVIRNE 2

The Broncos’ season ends at 7-8 after the Falcons cruised to a win. Of course Bow’s reward is it gets to visit top seed, unbeaten Souhegan in Thursday’s quarterfinals.

DIVISION I

NO. 6 DOVER 8, NO. 11 NASHUA SOUTH 1

The Panthers at least got a match victory as the Green Wave had blanked them in the regular season. South ends its season at 6-9 after beating rival Nashua North to grab the final tourney spot.

Dover’s win ruins what would have been an all-city matchup in the quarterfinals, as the 10-5 Green Wave will be the team to visit No. 3 Bishop Guertin on Thursday.
