Eli England State Runner Up
There were many male athletes in contention for The Zone Athlete of the Year Presented by Reece Monument Company, but one person accomplished something never obtained before.
Claiborne Bulldogs tennis player, Eli England, went 8-0 during the regular season. He won the district and region tournaments in singles. England lost in the sectionals but qualified for the state competition and finished as runner up in the state. He was the first freshman to go undefeated in the regular season.
Bulldogs’ tennis coach Franklin Essary spoke about his player, “I was glad to have Eli come in as a freshman this year and go 10-1 in regular season and tournament play. He is a hard worker and a fine young man.”
England found his love of tennis by accident and is now one of the best young tennis players in the state.
Congratulations Eli England, you are The Zone Male Athlete of the Year, presented by Reece Monument Company!
