Spring weather brings focus on HHS sports
Many upgrades at Halls Critchfield Park, such as this new
surface on the tennis courts, will add a boost to the spring
sports season this spring.
Spring sports are underway at Halls High
School, with students enjoying many improvements at nearby
Critchfield Park this season.
The tennis team, led by Coach Richard Dawson,
will enjoy playing home games on resurfaced courts. Thanks to a
new grant from the Town of Halls, the nets and lights have also
been replaced and the fencing painted.
Players, parents and leaders throughout the
community have spent much of their own time and resources on
improvements to the high school baseball field in the
off-season, as well. Coach Mike Blackwood worked hard this
winter with volunteers and town officials to ensure that players
enjoy a new dugout, additional batting cages and a new press
box, as well.
The softball team will also enjoy improvements
to the complex. The team is led by Coaches Joey Tetleton and
Molly Meeks Tetleton.
