CONWAY — Although the idea was backed by several coaches, a possible partnership between the school district and the North Conway Tennis Association for an indoor facility at the high school was shot down 4-3 by the Conway School Board.
Tennis association representatives Mark Guerringue, publisher of the Sun, and former SAU 13 Superintendent Kent Hemingway shared their vision Monday, saying it would be “a win-win” for the local tennis community and the high school.
