A total of 114 entries from all over the region, Southern Illinois and outside states turned out for the meet set for Friday through Sunday on Edwardsville tennis courts. Director Dave Lipe, also the head Edwardsville High School boys and girls tennis coach, said the event should be a great tournament. The rain delayed things for an hour and a half, Lipe said. People were really patient and understanding that we can t control the weather. We have people from all over. We have people from Southern Illinois, Missouri, Wisconsin and other states. Lipe said he and other tourney organizers were most appreciative of The Edge Bank for hosting
