LaConner Pickleball Tournament over!!

Sept 3, 2010 - Had a great day on the pickleball courts.Total of 22 teams started the morning under sunny skies. I had a new partner in mixed doubles today,Vi Stockman, really good friends. Vi is a tennis player and hasn't played much pickleball but still we did OK and won 3 games and lost 2. Didn't get any awards but it was a real learning experience as there are lots of good teams.

When the dust settled today we didn't get any awards in the Gienger household. Ione and Colby had a good start and won their first two games but then lost the next two games. Then Vi and I won two games and went into the losers bracket and won our first game. Then in our next loser game lost and were done for the day.

Then we had our usual Banquet and the Canadians did such a good job. Ione was awarded the overall best lady player and got a new Champion Pickleball paddle. then we had some lesser awards for a BBQ dinner/ice-cream. It was a really fun time and Ron & Vi 'Stockman really enjoyed it very much.

So now we will be getting ready for the birthdays on Sunday - Evan who will be 16 and Jessica who will be 17. Now we will be praying for nice weather as they are predicting cloudy with a chance of rain, maybe. We will have to wait and see how it works out. Thats it for tonight.
