Winfrey inks with Lady Buffs tennis

Milligan College, Tenn. (May 15, 2009) --- The Milligan College women’s tennis team signed Landmark Christian’s Halie Winfrey to join the Buffs for the 2009-10 season.  

While at Landmark Christian High School, Winfrey played three years of tennis for Head Coach Mark Hossler. Each season, Winfrey played as the no. 1 singles player. During her junior and senior seasons, she was selected to the All-Regions squad and as her team’s Most Valuable Player. Winfrey served as the team captain this past season.  

"Halie is a great addition to our lineup,” commented Head Coach Ron Worrell. “She is very athletic and brings a competitive game and attitude to the team. The added bonus is that she's left-handed and that's a big plus on the courts for a lot of reasons.”

Halie is the daughter of Olin and Tracy Winfrey of Fayetteville, Ga., and she plans to study pre-medicine at Milligan in the fall.
