HHI, CCTA Teams 11-0 in Day One of Men’s, Women’s 70s at Super Senior State Championships
HILTON HEAD ISLAND SC (TENNIS E-News) – Hilton Head Island and Coastal Carolina team are unbeaten in the first day of the South Carolina Super Senior State Championships at Wild Dunes, Isle of Palms. Match play begins Friday in Super Senior 60s. The 70s will complete in-group play Friday and play finals Saturday; SS60s will run Friday-Sunday.
The SS 60s 2.5 division will not be played until next week. As it turned out, only two local teams entered for States – Moss Creek and Country Club of Hilton Head -- and, since both are from our area, they will face off against each other here in a best-of-three playoff.

Hardeeville Takes a Step Forward With Tennis Carnival
HARDEEVILLE SC (TENNIS E-News) – Thirty kids and adults got a special initiation into the “sport for a lifetime” at a recent tennis festival at the school courts.
Bluffton tennis coordinator and high school coach Bob Brown was joined by Assistant Coach Kristen Kelly and two boys' team players earning Community Service credit - Chris Davis and Brantley Groshan – in conducting the carnival. Volunteers Linda Evans and Jackie Houck were also participated.
If kids and adults signed up, visited a lesson court and a skill court, they were given a free racquet donated by Julie Jilly and the Professional Tennis Registry. USTA South Carolina’s Graham Cox donated prizes. “Hardeeville has four nice hard courts which are not being used much,” Brown said. “We are sure that a follow-up would yield at least a Saturday morning beginner program to start. I challenged
About 10 ninth and tenth graders to ask athletic director/principal to start a high school team tennis program.
The event was sponsored by Public Tennis Inc. and funded by a grant from the Sun City Tennis Club.
Yet to be decided: Whose jurisdiction Hardeeville/Ridgeland comes under for developing tennis programs, leagues and such.
