THE HISTORY OF THE TOURNAMENT:
The year was 1985.  The parents of former Carroll High School student Jennifer Lee Schmidt had reported their daughter missing from the area of Purdue University.  She was never found.

Carroll High School has tried to turn this heartbreak into a positive, by sponsoring a memorial Girls’ Tennis Tournament in Jennifer’s honor each year.

It was a great tournament, a good cause and a beautiful setting.

There was also a concession stand with doughnuts, grilled hamburgers and hot dogs run by our own Food Adventures Crew.  All proceeds from the concession stand benefitted the annual event and the Carroll HS Girls Tennis Team.

The Big Ragu, Chef House and Hungry Jax make up Dayton’s Food Adventure Crew.  You can find them writing articles on Dayton Most Metro almost every week since 2011.
