LAFAYETTE – On Saturday, Dec. 1, at the Louisiana Tennis Association Annual Awards, Louisiana Men's Tennis head coach Mark Jeffrey received the highest award of the day receiving the LTA's Presidents Award.
This award is in recognition of an individual going above and beyond the call of duty to serve the Louisiana Tennis Community for the 2018 year.
Robert Daigle, the outgoing President, spoke and commended Jeffrey on his efforts for re-establishing and bringing to prominence the John Breaux Cajun Tennis Classic.
"Without Robert's passion for tennis I don't think I would have had the direction and drive to make sure that this event and the sport of tennis has continued to grow in Louisiana," said Jeffrey.
"I really can not give Robert enough credit for helping the John Breaux Cajun Tennis Classic succeed at such a high level," said Jeffery. "I also wanted to thank Louisiana Director of Athletics Bryan Maggard, Ph.D. for understanding the impact of the tournament, and how it helps Louisiana Men's Tennis grow."
Louisiana begins the 2019 season at the Florida State Invitational, starting on Jan. 12th. Florida State, Nebraska, FAU and North Florida will be among the top teams that Louisiana will be joining in Tallahassee, Fla. Louisiana will be facing off against teams that finished the 2018 season nationally ranked inside the Top-75 with Florida State having wrapped up the year sitting at 11th.
