Mary Lou Sherwood readies herself to return the serve of an opponent during a doubles tennis match Thursday at Betts Park. Thursday was the opening night of the annual Thursday Night Doubles Tennis program. The league has been in operation since 1984, making this the 28th year of the free tennis league.
