On a picture-perfect Thursday morning, Catherine Grisham and Mike Doyle faced off against Jason Hook and Gretchen Cox for June’s 3.5 championship title. It was a milestone match for Catherine, Mike, and Gretchen, who were all competing in their first championship at this level.
This fast-paced match started with Jason and Gretchen taking a commanding 8-1 lead and never looking back. A burst of energy briefly brought Catherine and Mike back to 5-10, but Jason and Gretchen went on a scoring tear, securing a 15-5 victory to claim the title.
Congratulations to Jason and Gretchen on a well-earned championship!
We also want to extend a huge thank you to our officiating crew—referee Gail Raney and line judges Craig Otte and Mike McPherson. Their keen eyes kept the match fair and the energy high.

4.0
On a moderately windy day we had five spectators and one volunteer line judge, Mia Misbach to assist with calls. I'm sure Mom wanting to watch her son play up close! :)
The top finalists were Nick Klien and Jerry Znetco vs Dean Sulzer and Theo Misbach.
In a somewhat surprising turn of events there was allot of fines shots and dinks in the championship game. Just when you though body bags and and hard liners were in vogue. One hard shot at Theo made one of the contestants say that the hit was child abuse due to Theos young age of 15. It elicited many laughs from players and spectators. The match was a bit of tug of war where one side almost pulls the other off the line and then the opponent is dragged back. Nick and Jerry got out to a 6-1 lead and then Dean and Theo came racing back to 6-6. Nick and Jerry went up 11-6 then Dean and Theo crept back to 10-12, then 13-13! Nick and Jerry outlasted the push by Dean and Theo to win 15-13. Congrats to all for the entertaining championship!
