Tuesday was extra special for LaGrange coach Kenny Moore who celebrated his 899th, and more importantly, his 900th win when the boys and girls teams swept Newnan. Moore has impacted countless Grangers on the tennis court and in the classroom as a calculus teacher and will likely reach 1,000 wins sooner rather than later. 

The Grangers will be back on the courts next Tuesday away to Opelika.
