August 1, 2023 - General Shelters of Texas, LTD and Center Varsity Tennis Team members celebrated the addition of a seating structure to provide protection from the elements for the seating area at the Leon Dykes Tennis Complex at Center High School on August 1, 2023.
A statement was issued by General Shelters in recognition of this event, and it reads as follows:
“On behalf of the owners and employees of General Shelters of Texas, LTD we are grateful to be able to give back to our local community and schools. In memory of the late Rick Campbell, and as part of the 50th anniversary of General Shelters of Texas, the company and family felt that donating the materials to build the covers for the lower-level seating for the Center High School Tennis Courts would be something that Rick would proudly support.
“Rick, an avid tennis player, graduated from Center High School and went on to play tennis for Tyler Junior College. After college, Rick continued playing tennis and passed on his passion for the sport through his daughter, nieces, and nephew who have all played and had great accomplishments through the Center High School Tennis program.
"We would like to thank Coach Leon Dykes and the Center Athletic Department for their dedication to our local kids and for keeping the program a perennial powerhouse in the State. We would also like to thank the numerous individuals and the Center Tennis Association for contributing to the funds to have the structure constructed on site.”
The structure was completed in February of 2023.
