Panther signs with Co-Lin Tennis

Published 7:11 pm Sunday, February 19, 2023

Brookhaven High senior tennis ace Robert Adcock has found his next home after leaving Ole Brook by recently signing a letter-of-intent with Copiah-Lincoln Community College.

Adcock already has one state championship medal in his career. As a sophomore, he paired with Caroline Kilpatrick to win the MHSAA 5A Mixed Doubles State Championship.

“I’m excited to have Robert join our team,” said CLCC tennis coach Dana Hale. “It’s great when we can sign talented, local players and Robert is certainly one of those. He is fundamentally sound and has great doubles experience. I look forward to coaching our 2023 class of signees.”
