MEN’S TENNIS Congratulations to the Atlanta Athletic Club Men’s A-1 Alta team for winning the City Finals Championship in November! This incredible group of men rebounded from a tough spring season, coming up short of making it to the playoffs by a single point. Not only did they win their division in the fall, these great players vanquished all challengers in the playoffs to bring home the Alta Champions Plate. Led by the resolute David Clough and co-captained by the hard charging Randy Moore, the AAC Men’s A1 team needed all hands on deck to secure the title on the day of City Finals. In one of the longest City Final Matches in recent memory, our champions fought long and hard to seize the victory late in the afternoon with the last line of players. Bravo men, and well done! Thanks to all the players for your steadfast efforts to bring home Champion’s Trophy!
