I would like to start off by saying a special thanks to two
people. Dean Brunton and Scout
Veitch. Dean took the time out Saturday
to come by the tournament and presented me with my plaque for becoming the
State Champion, and said some really kind words. Not only did he come by the tournament once,
but twice so that he could present it to me.
Thanks Dean! You’ve always been a
class act.
Secondly, thank you to our new President, Scout Veitch. He had plans on Saturday, but called me on
Friday and offered to play if I needed an extra player. Well originally we didn’t need an extra
player, but as luck would have it we had a person withdraw last minute late Friday
night. So I called him less than two
hours before the tournament started and he was there ready to fill in, but then
we had a few other players showing up wanting to play. So it ended we didn’t need him, and he was
willing to step out even though he was already there. That was very cool Mr. President.
Congratulations, to Eric Stuart, Chris Cruz, and Holly McRoberts
for winning each of their respective sections; and Congrats to Nikki Carter and
Aubrey O’Neal for tying for first in their quad.
Also, thanks to all of those who played.
Here is the crosstable.
