Bluffton hosted its annual tennis tournament over the weekend crowning champions in age groups and divisions for boys and girls.

Bluffton’s head boys’ tennis coach Robert Vanderkolk and girls’ head tennis coach Spencer Schwartz, along with assistants Hunter Cunningham and Ashlee Xayyachack, helped put together the event. Food trucks were available, and it was the first time that Bluffton hosted the event with the brand-new tennis court renovation from last fall.
