Every now and then I come across a quote where I just think, "Wow! Did he really just say that?" This is one of those quotes and for the record I didn't say it, I'm just posting it.
This is taken straight from the Phillips Andover site's writeup about the Phillips Academy-Milton Academy match.
A pivotal matched occurred at third singles, where Milton’s Anthony Blake, whose forehand, if not his sportsmanship, has markedly improved since last year, was involved in a struggle with Andover’s Michael Kontaxis. Both Blake and Milton’s Josh Cohen were almost called off the court by the coaches for their loud, disruptive behavior and code violations, which in Blake’s case included taunting and insults. Andover coach Greg Wilkin had to stop coaching other matches to monitor their calls and behaviors.

Another interesting quote from the Loomis Chaffee website, thanks for the tip:
Loomis faced Deerfield yesterday afternoon here on the Island. It was an epic battle. The tennis matches were high quality. The intensity was at an all-time high. Unfortunately, due to this high intensity and rivalry, sportsmanship was at an all-time low, which did not bring out the best in either team.
