Trojan tennis, Centre golf on to state

A pair of Hillsboro girls tennis players and a Centre girls golfer will be headed to state competitions this week after placing highly at their regional competitions.

Callie Bernhardt and Callie Plenert of Hillsboro went 3-0 in their first day of regional tennis play Saturday at Smoky Valley. They placed fourth in doubles play Sunday, punching tickets to Friday’s state tournament in Wichita.

Centre golfer Cecilia Rzhia placed 14th with a score of 109 at Monday’s regional competition in Topeka. Her score was good enough that she received one of six individual slots for Monday and Tuesday’s state competition at Cheney.
