Fort Worth, TX - Central Tennis put on their annual Turkey Mixer Tournament Monday night as varsity players teamed up with their favorite teachers to take part in a mixed doubles tournament. In the battle of tennis supremacy, Coach Ziegler and senior Christina Baxter came out on top. Baxter is no stranger to double tennis dominance as she won the district doubles title last year. Ziegler, Central's Boy's Golf coach was honored for his tennis dominance, like all past winners, with a frozen turkey.
