The 4th Annual Ladies Paddle Tournament to benefit Sustain-Inspire-Survive (SIS) took place in Rochester, NY, on January 23rd. The tournament raises money for women struggling financially while undergoing treatment for breast cancer. SIS was founded in 2005 by breast cancer survivor Andrea Caruso. It is a local, grassroots organization, so participants know that all the money raised goes to work in Rochester, and contributions for the tournament and auction come from all corners of the city.

In an effort to build paddle here in Columbus, we had a fun exhibition and teaching event at the New Albany Country Club in December. Brian Heil, Thad Reed, Drew Eberly and I played an exhibition for about an hour, and then we played some fun games and drills with members.
Congratulations to Karen Henke and Hollly Peck for winning the West Penn women's title this weekend, and to Brett Englesberg and Jeff McMaster for winning the men's title. The West Penn Open has been contested since the early days of Pittsburgh paddle in the 1970s, and it's still going strong.
A record number of parents and their children showed up at Cincinnati, Camargo and Hyde Park Country Clubs in Cincinnati, Ohio on a beautiful November day for the 7th Annual Adult/Child Platform Tennis Tournament. Thirty five teams competed in 3 divisions. Mauks - 16 & Under Winner |

Highly competitive teams competed in the various 35th annual Cleveland Masters tournaments held November 13-15. The weather was warmer than most paddle conditions which made for a lively competition. In the Men's Open, National Ranking and President's Cup Qualifier, the #1 seed and defending champion team of Brian Heil and Denny English from Columbus, OH, retained their crown for the second straight year. They beat Brett Englesberg and Jeff McMaster from Pittsburgh, PA in the finals 6-3, 7-6 (8-6). In the Ladies Open and President Cup Qualifier, #4 seed Janet Mazzola, Cleveland, OH, and Ann Turner, Cincinnati, OH beat unseeded Holly Peck and Karen Henke form Pittsburgh 5-7, 6-3, 7-6 (7-5). This marked the first time Janet has won the tournament and the first time since 2002 that a hometown Clevelander was victorious. It was the second time that Ann won the tournament, last winning in 1999. Holly and Kelly were no stranger to the finals. Holly having won in 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2007 and Karen won in 2003 and 2004. The team was also runner's up in 2006. In the Men 90+, there was a rematch of last year's finals with a different ending. This year the team of Danny McLaughlin, Cleveland, OH, and Bill Sullivan, Columbus, OH, beat Eric Miller and John Schloss. Hope to see everyone back in Cleveland for the APTA Mixed National Championships March 12 - 14, 2010 and the Cleveland Masters next November! |
