League Update

Last night was the final showdown for league this session. Unfortunately, we did not win. We got off to a rocky start and finished the same way. The experience was bitter sweet. It was bitter in the sense that no one likes to lose. On the flip side, we have a phenomenal team with some fantastic players that will continue to play great. I’ve played on a lot of teams and by far this is the best one I have ever been on. We will continue to grow as a team which will only make us more dangerous.

Are we down and out? Absolutely not! Just because we didn’t take the trophy last night doesn’t mean we are done yet! We are guaranteed a spot at Tri Cup which is the next level of play. Mark my words.. We are not done raising hell quite yet! =]

League

For several years I have been involved with shooting in 8-ball pool leagues.  I have shot in two different formats.  The first was a BCA (Billiard Congress of America) league and more recently I have been shooting APA (American Poolplayers Association).

Beginning this session, I had a team comprised of people who had mostly never shot league before.  As this season progressed my teammates really stepped it up.  I am really proud of the team.  We play in the finals tonight against Bob Morris, the league director’s team.  I do believe we will be taking the trophy home tonight.  Sorry Bob, you are going down.

Last week we beat out the number one team.  Man ohh man, talk about an upset.  Because we beat them (into submission) last week we automatically are going to Tri Cup!  I have never played in an actual “tournament” before.  I am really looking forward to watching all of this unfold.
