Seven Inducted to OCTA Hall of Fame
The Oklahoma Tennis Coaches Association (OCTA) announced the 2019 Hall of Fame Inductees. Rusty Bradley, David Diefenderfer, Pat Heidlage, Robert Meek, Mary Hudson, Alan Simpson, and Phil Veazey were the seven award winners. OCTA wanted to honor these individuals that have made a significant and considerable contribution to the sport of high school tennis and tennis in their community and in the state of Oklahoma.
The Association is always looking for members to join and some of the benefits of the $20 membership include: extending your circle of coaches and developing new contacts, getting new perspectives and ideas for the game of tennis, and personal satisfaction of helping high school tennis in Oklahoma and helping OTCA to success.
