Naito, Yaguchi first
state tennis winners
In May 9th’s sports section (B1), it was incorrectly reported that Kaua‘i’s S. Masaki and D. Mizutani held the only KIF doubles state tennis title (1970).
However, thanks to Charles Yokomoto’s good memory, in 1958, the Red Raider women’s duo of Janet Naito and Judy Yaguchi claimed the first KIF tennis state doubles crown. Kaua‘i also won the girls team state title in that year, with Jane Hirota (Kaua‘i) finishing second in the state.
