Courts for Cancer distributes $3,000

DEXTER — Love did not mean zero Friday in Dexter Bearcat high school tennis. Instead, the Bearcat boys’ tennis team served love — $3,000 — to help battle cancer in Stoddard County.

“I am super proud of my boys’ and girls’ tennis teams for keeping the spirit of giving alive,” said Kristi Boles, Bearcat head coach and Courts for Cancer founder.

Bloomfield Elementary principal Jennifer Bolin received $1,000 in love offerings from the DHS boys’ tennis team.

Boles said, “We would like to say thank you again to our sponsors and community for helping us in our efforts.”
