Rain dampens play at the Junior Smash

The weather was perfect for tennis throughout the morning and early afternoon, but the clouds rolled in and the rain washed out completion of the 3rd annual Junior Smash; 67 players from Seattle up to Mount Vernon competed in heated battles on the court. Before the rains ended play, Logan Sternfeld captured the title in the Girls 11-13 Gold, and Anyston Cox took the trophy in Girls 11-13 Silver.
