Maybe it was those new tennis courts that helped give Screven County a little edge this spring. The courts were completed this year thanks to SPLOST funds and were part of numerous changes to help the growing school deal with additional traffic.
The Screven County girls and boys won the Class A Public Region 3 championship. The girls defeated Claxton in the finals, and the boys knocked out Emanuel County Institute in the championship round.
Screven County is now paired with teams from Region 3, which has not been decided.
