We will send out an updated list within the next few days. All together, we were able to raise $2150.00 for St. Jude Children?s Hospital over the tournament weekend. Great job to all for the final push to almost double last years effort. One of the smoothest tournaments of the year to run. Surprises sprung up throughout the weekend beginning with Garza and Alberts playing strong to take top honors. They handle the field of Open Doubles team to celebrate their 1st Virginia State title. Great playing Tim and Keith. In one of the most brutal Open Singles matches of the year, Bruce Nardoci eliminated Kenny Kniceley in the final on match point. Kenny, without a doubt, poured everything into the match to force Nardoci to go to a push kick series. Truly a great match, with intensity and sportsmanship. The Open Mixed featured one of the most incredible goalie save ever witnessed by Nikki Takei. Playing with partner Jim Ryan, Takei pulled off a toe and header save that kept the ball airborne for about 3 seconds keeping it from breaking the plane of the goal. In the end, Lisa Tolley and Alan Cribbs took top honors for their 1st Virginia State titles. In Expert doubles, Little and Alberts stormed the field for victory. Premier goalie, Buddy Burchette, claimed top honors with a hard fought Expert singles match to the always-tough Sam Crockett. Great performance by Tony Shifflet in Novice singles and Scott Dunbar and Rob Snyder in Novice doubles. Nardoci and Baughan were top dogs in the DYP by double dipping West and Cribbs. It was especially encouraging for me, as the tournament director, to see everyone enjoy their victories and quickly release the frustrations of defeat. I applaud everyone?s desire to have their victory photos taken by the Bonzini U.S.A. Charity check. In closing, I wanted to pay special recognition to Mrs. Lisa Overstreet. Lisa is the manager of Wide Open and takes great pride in providing the players and my staff with the best service on our foosball tour. She is truly a treasure. The entire staff of Wide Open and my good friend Leon (Head cook) did an outstanding job.
