"Ball Blasters" Take Second Annual MACTA Invitational
Murphys, CA...Twenty-four players from Calaveras, Amador, and Tuolumne counties took part in the Second Annual Ladies Invitational tournament put on by the Murphys Area Community Tennis Association (MACTA) on Saturday, February 21. Preliminary matches took place at Bret Harte High School, Angels Camp, with the finals held at MACTA’s Wintercreek Facility in Murphys...
Organized by tennis professional Angella Woods, the doubles tournament involved four evenly matched teams consisting of six players each. The winning team, appropriately named the Ball Blasters, was composed of Janet Markoe, Penny McClenahan, Gay McLeod, Sandi Pearce, and Dede Sullivan.
The event raised money to help MACTA maintain and improve the heavily used courts. The current project is to improve the facility’s bar-b-que area.
MACTA is a recognized non-profit organization formed in the autumn of 2010 to channel the interests and efforts of the many tennis players in the greater Murphys area. It is a community tennis association affiliated with the United States Tennis Association (USTA).
MACTA is designed to welcome tennis players of all ages and all skill levels. Anyone wishing to join can do so by making an annual donation of at least $25. Contributions can be sent to PO Box 344, Murphys CA 95247. For further information, MACTA President David Bowman can be reached at dbowman@goldrush.com.
