South Carolina Tennis 2006 Media Award Winner
Hilton Head Island SC
Wayne Local League Coordinator
Moss Creek Zips Onto HHI; Split's Name Is "Coastal Carolina Tennis Association"
HARDEEVILLE SC (TENNIS E-News) -- In prompting the first Hardeeville placename in E-News history, Coastal Carolina Tennis Association was chosen the name of the new USTA League playing area, Moss Creek was dropped from the area coverage and Jerry Wayne was elected Local League Coordinator.
Meeting in Palmetto Electric's New River Community Room, Hardeeville, some 20 representatives from That Side Of The Bridge began by accepting TSOTB's Moss Creek pleas not to be part of that area as had been decided in the inaugural Jan. 12 organizational session. HHI Local League Coordinator Jackie Reynecke conducted the session.
Moss Creek reps argued that it was part of HHI before the new area was even developed, adding its proximity to the island and "our kids go to Hilton Head Island schools". Final motion was that if it has a Hilton Head Island zipcode, it belongs in HHI leagues.
The assembled turned to the task of choosing a name, going with the most popular of those emailed prior to the meeting: Coastal Carolina Tennis Association (CCTA).
That done, reps considered candidates to become the CCTA's "Jackie Reynecke" -- Local League Coordinator of the new area: Terry Logan of Beaufort, Ernie Clark of Sun City, Jerry Wayne of St. Helena/Dataw and Bunny Wardlaw of Hilton Head Island were presented. By secret ballot, the winner was Wayne, who served more than 20 years with the Atlanta Lawn Tennis Association including several terms as its president.
The CCTA now settles into choosing level coordinators for the 2008 Combo and Super Senior seasons that will be the first under the split from Hilton Head Island (and Moss Creek).
On a related issue, Reynecke reported that, although some Walterboro players compete in CCTA and HHI leagues, Walterboro teams have chosen to remain in the Lowcountry (Charleston) playing district.

Junior Team Tennis Season Wraps Up Successful Season
HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News via Bob Brown) -- The Wexford Warriors clinched the 12-and-Under Beginner race and the Racquet Club Villains won the 18s and 14s Intermediate divisions as Junior Team Tennis finished its regular league season.
Players World Sportsmanship Awards went to Chris Austin for Boys' 18s, Katherine Masis for Girls' 18s, Kirsten Jurgensen for Girls' 14s and Blake Antal in Boys' 14s.
