Just Happened ... TIM CLELAND TENNIS CAMP: The third week of the 15th Annual Tim Cleland Tennis Camp concluded on July 23 with the camp tournament and picnic. The camp attracted a record total of 244 youths this summer, a 10 percent increase from a year ago and a new attendance record for the 15th consecutive year! Special thanks to our staff of 21 instructors and to our many volunteers who helped with the weekly picnics. Drew Owen, Tate Dishman and Ethan Grove were selected Campers of the Week for boys in the advanced group for the third week of the camp. The girls chosen as Campers of the Week for the advanced group were Aly Hopkins, Meghan Jackson and Amanda Short. See all the award winners and tournament winners. NEW SIGNAGE AT SHELTER: Advanced Signs and Graphics installed our new exterior signage at the tennis shelter on Friday, July 23. The signage includes a 3-foot tennis ball and one-foot yellow letters that spell out D-E-L-T-A T-E-N-N-I-S. The signage is visible as soon as you pull into the DHS parking lot and looks great! ZACH, BEN PLAY WELL AT OHIO EVENT: DHS Tennis graduate Zach Ervin won three singles matches on Saturday, July 17 at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association summer circuit tournament at Ohio State University. Zach, a junior at Butler University, advanced to the Final 8 of the 128-player men's singles draw. DHS Tennis senior Ben Bryan won his opening match in the Ohio State tourney in a third-set tiebreaker. He lost in the second round. Ben then lost a third-set tiebreaker to a sophomore member of the Dartmouth University team in the consolations. Zach and Ben played doubles together on Sunday and had two match points but lost 9-7. ABBY CHOSEN FAIR QUEEN: Recent DHS Tennis graduate Abby Alexander was chosen 2010 Delaware County Fair Queen on Saturday night, July 10. Congratulations Abby!
![]() WINDSCREEN & SHELTER HELP: Great progress was made between Tuesday, July 6 and Thursday, July 8 on improvements at the tennis courts. Our new 225-foot windscreen was installed along the back fence on Courts 1 through 5 (see photos above). The windscreen includes a large DHS TENNIS logo in the center. Jeff Chambers, Scott Richardson, Brad Wilson, Bob Wymer, Coach Cleland, Zach Richardson, Brock Windsor, and Chris Wymer spent three hours hanging the screens. It looks great and will be a nice improvement to the site. Also, several volunteers helped install soffit, fascia and metal interior roof at the shelterhouse. Ethan Grove, Tate Dishman, Nick Wilson, Mike Loffer, Jared Bullock, Scott Richardson, Paul Grove, Coach Cleland, Jeff Chambers, Zach Richardson, Brock Windsor, and Bond St. John provided the manpower.

This total of 38 players is an increase from the third 9-week grading period. Congratulations to all students on the Honor Roll -- good job! See who made the Honor Roll |
