A huge THANK YOU to the City of Licking for the brand new tennis nets—we absolutely love them! 🎾
Your generosity and support mean so much to our athletes and program. These nets are going to make a big difference for our players and continue to elevate the experience for everyone involved.
Also, a big shoutout to Mark Taylor and Jamey Maxy for taking the time to get them put up. Wow!! Your willingness to step in and help does not go unnoticed.
We are incredibly appreciative of this amazing support. Thank you, Licking!!! 🧡🖤
🎾🎾Tonight we celebrate Senior Night and recognize four incredible seniors: Kate Mitchell, Josh Wade, Ryder Ingram, and Caleb Owen.
Your hard work, dedication, and commitment have truly shown on the court. Even more importantly, you have been outstanding leaders—setting the example not only in competition, but also as role models for the younger athletes here at Licking.

🚗Today, our juniors and seniors had the opportunity to participate in the Southwest Coalition for Roadway Safety activities.
Students took part in obstacle courses while wearing impairment simulation goggles, giving them a firsthand look at how alcohol and other substances can affect coordination, reaction time, and decision-making behind the wheel.
These students took the Buckle Up Phones Down Pledge and signed the banner pledging to keep safety a priority.
We’re grateful to the Missouri Highway Patrol and the Licking Police Department for guiding students through the activities and having meaningful conversations about the real-life consequences of poor choices and driving under the influence.
This important experience was made possible through funding from the Southeast Coalition for Roadway Safety 2026 Project Prom/Graduation Grant. We appreciate their support in helping keep our students informed, aware, and safe as they head into prom and graduation season.
