STHS tennis coaches quit just before season

South Tahoe High School is struggling to have a tennis program this fall with the abrupt resignation of both coaches.

The husband-wife duo of Justin and Jenny Clark recently gave notice.

Practice for the boys’ and girls’ teams is supposed to start Aug. 16 per NIAA rules. The governing body mandates the teams have 10 practices before match play begins.

“We have bit of wiggle room. We will make sure we can compete,” STHS Vice Principal Pat Harnett told Lake Tahoe News.

The jobs have been posted, with the deadline to apply being Aug. 11.

Justin Clark, who coached the boys, did not return multiple phone calls. He has taken a teaching job in Carson City.
