Lawton Public Schools

The Eisenhower High School (EHS) tennis teams would have competed in the Regional Tournament and then hopefully progressed to State Tournament the first and second weeks of May. Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, their season was cut short.

\r\n

EHS tennis coach Hannah Mentel said she was saddened when the season was cut short, but is thankful and proud of all the team accomplished in the beginning of the season. \r\n

\r\n

“They put in a lot of hard work into improving themselves individually and also building each other up as a team,” Mentel said. “They started out strong and no doubt would have continued to have a great season. They represent themselves, Eisenhower and Lawton well.”\r\n

\r\n
