Halloween Pickleball Thriller: A Spooky Showdown
On the spookiest day of the year, our very own pickleball court transformed into a haunted arena. The air was filled with the eerie sound of paddles smacking and the ghostly wails of lost points. Our ghoulish duo, Steve Alderette and Craig Otte, faced off against the fearsome twosome of Ed Sheldon and John Fournier in a match that was as chilling as a midnight stroll through a graveyard. The match began with a spooky start, as Steve and Craig quickly gained a 5-1 lead. But the undead duo of Ed and John rose from the grave, clawing their way back to within two points. The score was a nail-biting 6-8 when the teams switched sides. With the wind howling like a banshee, Ed and John lost three straight points, sending shivers down their spines. In the end, it was Steve and Craig who emerged victorious, winning the match 15-10. This thrilling match was a testament to the skill and determination of all four players.
Kudos to our superb reporter Carll Frye!
A special thanks to our fearless referee, Laurel Sebastien, who kept the match running smoothly. We also want to give a shout out to Karen Kovacs, who unfortunately had to forfeit her participation in the championship due to a prior engagement. We can’t wait to see her dominate the court next month! 
RR level 3.6 - The teams were Dave Oeffling and Sam Sar vs. Mark Cardenas and PJ Janik. With the brilliant plays by Oeffling (as reported by his partner, Sam), Dave and Sam won 11-2 (game called early due to darkness). Extra congratulations to Mark Cardenas who had a perfect score for the RR. And a big thank you to Dave Cannon for serving as referee - so we know the match was legit!
Apparently Patagonia is now into pickleball wear as seen on Mark & Dave 
RR level 3.7 and up, Captained by Barry Lumley - The Championship game was Steve Joannes and Chris Colvil vs Chris Hennon and Barry Lumley. Chris and Barry started off smoothly and built a 6-point lead. Steve and Chris C clawed their way back to make it even at the midway point. Barry melted down and caused his team to lag behind in the end by hitting out balls and balls into the net more than the others. There were a lot of power strokes and some finesse plays throughout. It was a competitive and friendly game to the end. Steve and Chris C won 15-12.
Kudos to our very honest reporter Barry Lumley
