Woah! Happy Mother’s Day because without moms, we wouldn’t have our medalists or any of our great competitors in today’s Mixed 4.5+ Tournament.
Brian Lasky and Jana Spano made it through the first 5 undefeated, followed by Maureen Plainfield and Tommy Musone with 1 loss by 2, Kim & John Buffington with a loss by 4, and Debbie McCarty and Doug McClintock with 50 points coming in fourth.
In the semis, Debbie and Doug surprised Brian and Jana by beating them 11-3, and then beating Kim and John in an epic 13-11 for the Gold. Kim and John got the Silver by beating Maureen and Tommy, also by 11-3. Brian and Jana finished with the Bronze by winning 11-3 over Maureen and Tommy.
Kongratulations to all the participants and medalists and big thanks to my volunteers Chas Popplestone, Gavin Mason, and Ilene Greenberg for managing the scoreboard.
(Scoreboard correction: Team 12 beat Team 13 11-8 in Game 5. Team 12 finished with 28 pts and Team 13, 35)
