EHS Competes At Springfield Tennis Invite

SPRINGFIELD -- Effingham High School competed in the Springfield Tennis Invitational Friday but Saturday's competition was rained out.

"Friday night was the doubles tournament and we had three doubles teams entered in their own divisions," said EHS Coach Erik Williamson. "This was a double elimination tournament. Singles play was to be Saturday but most courts were unplayable due to an overnight rain in Springfield and with the threat of rain throughout the day in the forecast for Saturday, the tournament director decided to cancel the singles divisions."
