The Coal City Tennis teams extend a huge thank you to everyone who came out to support the 1st Annual Staff vs. Student Paddle Battle pickleball tournament on Feb. 11.
“We had a fantastic night of competitive fun and everyone's generosity made the event a resounding success, and we are thrilled to announce that we raised almost $600,” said Matt Leman, tennis coach and event organizer. Proceeds from the Paddle Battle will support Coal City’s North Park pickleball project, sponsored by the Coal City Tennis Association.
Congratulations to all the players, especially student champions, Dom Chellino and Melody Leman, who battled their way to the top after a close first round loss. No one was able to defeat the dominant duo of Mr. Unger and Mr. Leman who proved they will reign supreme until next year's tournament.
“Thanks again to everyone for making this event so memorable. We look forward to seeing you all at next year's tournament,” Leman said.
