    The event was delayed two weeks because of cold and snow!.  Then, last Saturday, there was wind, sometimes gusting up to 15+ mph.  Fortunately, no players were blown away!  At least three pickleballs ended up outside the fence, one down in the gully, but all 3 were rescued and no harm resulted. Even the paperwork and raffle prizes were threatened by the wind. 

    The wind certainly led to some weird shots, but didn't prevent lots of very enjoyable play.  After all games were complete, beverages and snacks were served and a raffle was held.  A big thank you to the planning committee:  Sandy & Gail (front row); Craig, Marcie, Ginger & Ann (back row):

    Raffle prizes often included a St. Patrick's Day theme and all winners received a new PPA logo hand towel.

     2.5 (Tuesdays) - It was a bitter cold and windy day, as Victoria Perkett and Dori Mion stepped onto the court to face Andrea Schmidlin and Erik Swanson.Victoria and Dori were quick out of the gate and established a modest lead over Andrea & Erik. But that didn't last long as Andrea and Erick came back with a vengeance and took back the lead, threatening to run away with the match. Victoria and Dori would have none of that however, coming on strong at the end and defeating their opponents 15-11. It was a fun match to watch as both teams were fairly evenly matched.     

    2.7 (Wednesdays) - Helen Espinda & Pam Jamison played Warren Andrews & Donna Meyerson. Helen and Pam won 15 to 12. It was a great match!    

    3.0 (Fridays) - pending

    3.2 (Mondays) - The Championship pairings were Jim Ray & Chris DeMember vs. Jayne Bishop and Mike Wild.  The match was held in windy, cloudy conditions, but fortunately the hail arrived after the match was completed!  Despite the wind, there were several good dinks, hard hits, and great defense.  An excellent match by all four players.  Jim & Chris took an early lead, but Jayne & Mike fought back.  Jim &Chris again built a lead, only to see Jayne & Mike whittle away at it.  But in the end, Jim & Chris were the 15-10 winners.

    3.5 (Thursdays) - Thursday's 3.5 March championship game was played on another very windy day with John Godwin and Dale Dieter vs. John McAllister and Dean Sulzer.  The game was officiated by Laurel Sebastien.  Due to the wind, the dinking was limited but there were plenty of great rallies.  John M. and Dean took an early lead and although John G. and Dale made a valiant effort to get some traction, in the end, John and Dean took control and won going away: 15 - 3.   

    3.6 (Tuesdays) - It was a beautiful and sunny day (FINALLY!) for pickleball.  In the Championship match, Dave Johnson and Steve Buxman defeated Dave Oeffling and Mike Flynn. 

     

    3.7+ (Tuesdays) - The Championship round was played between James Fazio & Jason Hoover vs Mile L & Tony Pitkiewicz. Officiated by Dave Cannan. It was a very windy day with winds gusting at 10-15 mph. There wasn't much dinking going on!  Most rally's were very short with a few extended ones! Very close match all the way. There was only 1-2 points difference in score all the way  to 11-10. James and Jason pulled away at the end for a 15-10 win and the March 3.7+ champions!
