July 17, 2024

Montgomery, AL – The North-South boys’ and girls’ all-star tennis competition faced an unexpected interruption on Tuesday afternoon at Lagoon Park. Despite completing three doubles matches in both the girls’ and boys’ categories, the event had to be called off before the six scheduled singles matches could take place.
