2009 East/West tournament

This event is scheduled for the 12th of September, but is tentative. Here are the variables: First, we have three seniors teams that have the potential to go to district playoffs, and the playoffs are that weekend. This could take a number of players out of the tournament and make it hard to hold the event. Second, we need good participation, even if there are no teams in district. Therefore, if we don't get good numbers signed up, we will have to cancel the event this year. In that case, we will turn the event into an end-of summer mixer and just play for fun. More will be forthcoming from Ron and Gail, so please watch your Email in box.

Super Senior Men's Team Just Misses Playoffs

The 2009 Super Senior men's 7.0 team ended up 1 win from making the playoffs.
The District Tournament would accept 3 teams from each division and we ended up in 4th place 1 win out.
I am very proud of the way we played this year. We lost a couple of heart breakers that would have make a big difference in the outcome and final results. This was a great group of guys.

The SS Division is a very competitive group. We are playing against clubs who have coaches, conduct drills and players that have been playing together for years. I think our team made a very good run at the playoffs.

Team Members are:

Duncan, Larry
Johnson, Dan
Martin, Dick
Posluszny, John
Rankin, Don
Stark, Ron
Wesley, Braden
