North Hampton's Magnus Johnson, 6, placed sixth in the 8-and-under regional round of the MCB Tennis Tournament played July 13-15 at the Homewood-Flossmoor Racquet Club in Homewood, Ill. Magnus competed against other sectional winners from the Midwest, Eastern and Middle states. With the top four players moving on to the nationals in Texas, Magnus now serves as an alternate should a player be needed. Magnus qualified for the regionals by reaching the finals of the New England section of "Lil Mo," MCB Foundation's 8-and-under tournament that was held June 2-3 at the Woburn Racquet Club in Woburn, Mass. "Lil Mo" is a program of the Maureen Connolly Brinker Tennis Foundation offering an opportunity for younger players to compete against others of the same age, at the sectional, regional, national and international levels. Magnus plays at the Smart Tennis Center in Hampton. He is coached by Mark Moulton and trains at the Bustoff Tennis Academy headed by Barry Caron.
