LHS Tennis Headed to State

The Redskins send two more Nguyens to the 5-A State Tennis Championship in Emporia this week. Attaining the due respect from other schools in the state, the doubles team of Vince Nguyen and Duc Nguyen qualify for State with a 6th Place finish at Regionals held in Great Bend last Saturday.
