JACKSON -- The Millsaps men's and women's tennis teams got into the holiday spirit this past December in a special way. On Dec. 2, both programs visited the Bethlehem Center for the afternoon to spend some time with under privileged children in the Jackson area. 

Players organized games with the kids and followed up with a Christmas party. The children bonded well with the Millsaps players and the cookies and candy were enjoyed by everyone.

“All of us have so much as coaches or student-athletes here at Millsaps” first-year head coach Jay Pacelli said.  “For us to give just a few hours of our time for a group of great kids, it's very rewarding. I feel both programs need to give back to the community and understand life lessons outside the tennis courts. We have good men and women with the tennis programs. Congratulations to all the student-athletes for making this day a success!”
