The Auburn Junior Team Tennis State Championship took place on Friday, 7/10/15, through Sunday, 7/12/15. George Ward had 3 teams that attended - 18 and under, 12 and under and 10 and under. All our juniors played very well and our 12 and under team went to the finals on Sunday after defeating Trussville Topspinners, Pelham Racquet Club Challengers, Selma and Mobile. Our 12 and under team lost in the finals to Lake Cyrus from Birmingham 35 to 20. We would like to thank all the parents that helped during the tournament and all the coaches that did a great job (Coach Donald Smith, Coach Nathan Echols & Coach Rudy Lewis).
