Manteca High School tennis teams will be able to use the campus tennis courts again after the spring break.The $35,000 repair project was given priority over three others on the pipeline because of safety-issues, said Manteca Unified Senior Operations Director David Burke. The tennis court’s surface is wearing away posing a real safety hazard, rendering it inappropriate for use, he said.“The last couple of years, it’s really gone down,” said Manteca High Principal Frank Gonzales of the Buffalo tennis court located on Mikesell Street east of Garfield Avenue. “We’re always looking to upgrade our facilities,” he added.The Manteca High project was jockeyed to front position over carpet replacements at Sierra High, Sequoia Elementary, and Great Valley Elementary in Weston Ranch - each with approximately $25,000 price tags - primarily because of the safety-issue factor.
