Tennis club awards scholarships

The Hilo Junior Tennis Club awarded $500 scholarships to Kyle Kosaki and Christopher Simons, a pair of recent graduates from Waiakea High School.

They were members of their school’s tennis teams, and both carried grade point averages of 3.8 or higher going into their last semester. The club also recognized three other graduating seniors — Andy Matsuura, Stephanie Matsuura and Marissa Miyahira — at an awards presentation.

Also, a summer tennis camp program is scheduled to run Tuesday through June 28, and enrollment forms may be picked up from the club’s information box at Edith Kanaka’ole Multipurpose or obtained at hilojrtennis@hawaiiantel.net.
