Takes State<br />
Championship<br />
The 2015 Junior Team Tennis Fall State Championship was<br />
held December 12-13, 2015 at Ridgeland Tennis Center and<br />
Parham Bridges in Jackson. Teams from all over the state came<br />
to compete for the title of state champion.<br />
The 10U girls team Smartt Tennis/Topspinners coached by<br />
Robert Beacham and Amanda Campbell beat out teams from<br />
Oxford, Hattiesburg and Columbus for the championship title.<br />
They won an astounding 20 matches with only four losses the<br />
entire tournament.<br />
This is Coach Beacham’s second state title. His 2014 team<br />
won state and went on to compete in sectionals in South<br />
Carolina. His team competes in loving memory of tennis pro<br />
Brian K. Smartt. His motto was and will forever be, “Play hard,<br />
have fun.”<br />
All six girls hail from <strong>Madison</strong> County. They are (L-R)<br />
Mia Madelyn Hatfield, Elizabeth Johnson, Sophie Sosa,<br />
