We had a total of 14 teams, which was all divisions including Juniors.
Two 7 team pools to start got us to the top three teams in each pool
advancing to an "A" Semi. Two teams had to drop out, so the "B" Semi
also had 6 teams. Big news in the prelims was the victory of Mark
Horn and Cody Kirkland (almost 14?) beating John Kirkland (sort of
proud dad, wouldn't you have to admit) and John Greensage. JK and JG
still went on to win the "A" Semi pool, beating the next seed Brandt
and Damon, and exacting revenge on son Cody.
I am not going into a lot of detail of all the results as you can
peruse them on the web.
Semis saw JK/JG picking Dan 'Stork' Roddick and Jim Herrick (way too
long since we have seen these guys out at tourneys, especially Jim)
and Harvey and Conrad facing Mark and Cody.
Neither semi went to three games, both JK/JG and Brandt/Damon winning
in two straight.
That set up the finals. Haven't we seen enough of these teams? Always
in the finals!!! Oh wait, I was in there, never mind.
JK/JG took a 12-10 lead in the first game (3 of 5 to 15) before
Brandt/Damon roared back and scored 5 straight points to win the
game. JK/ JG took another lead, 11-9, in the second game to see
almost the same thing happen. 6 straight points as Brandt/Damon took
a 2-0 games lead. The third game was different. Brandt/Damon took
over from the start and won the final 15-9.
