in Belton June 3-9, 2008

The Wachovia Palmetto Championships finished a hot week with championship matches and an awards ceremony at the Belton Tennis Center on June 9. This concluded seven days of tennis played on over 65 courts in Belton and Anderson. The tournament ran on schedule throughout the week, with no rain delays. Entries were down to 425 players this year due to a conflict with schools throughout the state. A large number of juniors in the 18's were unable to play this year's tournament due to conflicts with their high school graduations. Singles and doubles championships were decided for both boys and girls in five age divisions (10's, 12's, 14's, 16's and 18's). Six additional Belton Classic singles champions were determined. The Belton Classic is a separate Level III South Carolina tournament consisting of players who do not advance through the qualifying into the main draw.
