Spurger’s teams took those honors at the district tennis meet last week in Woodville. Spurger High School seniors Kendall Gray and Colton Jenkins returned to Spurger as district champions in the girls and boys singles competitions, respectively.
Joshua Grissom and Jillian Leasman earned the first-place medals for mixed doubles, and KayLynn Deckert and Jade Tucker earned the second place in girls’ doubles.
