SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD
MEGEN COCHRAN of Calhoun, Ga was awarded the SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD
There were so many well mannered, good sports in this tournament, it was very difficult to narrow it down to just one individual. Wish we could have awarded this honor to more of you. Just keep your great personalities and good manners and you will go far in tennis as well as well as life in general. These attributes do not go unnoticed.
Thanks to each player, parent, and coach for making this tournament a pleasure to host.
