FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MAY 2019 53 The 8-Ball Club holds two in-house tournaments each month: an 8-Ball tournament and a 9-Ball tournament. Most months we play four additional tournaments. Two away and two at home with Hemet (Solera) twice and Cherry Valley (Solera) twice. Last month 9-Ball champion Ray Windhorn made it to the final undefeated. Larry Rice, coming from the loser bracket, needed to beat Ray twice. The first match went to Larry but Ray was able to continue his streak to become this month's champion. Congratulations to our 8-Ball champion Ray Windhorn and runner-up Larry Rice. This month's 9-Ball tournament found nine players competing in the in-house 9-Ball tournament. The new format continued with the winner's bracket being a race to two while the loser bracket is a single game match. Larry Rice went undefeated in the winner's bracket to face Robert Howard in the finals. Robert was able to win the two matches to become this month's champion. Congratulation to our 9-Ball champion, Robert Howard and runner up Larry Rice. The 8-Ball Club is always looking for new players. The club plays or practices Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights 6 pm until 9 pm. There is a calendar of our events in the Billiards Room on the 8-Ball Club bulletin board. Come out for the fun and give us a try. 8-Ball Club Officers: Captain Del Lyles, Sr. (951) 845- 5114, Co-Captain Larry Rice (951) 236-1156. ~ Larry Rice The 8-Ball Club The "Wild Bunch" 8-Ball Billiards Group is geared for those individuals who want to play competitively with those of their skill level. We started the new year with inviting the "best of the best" from Sun Lakes and Solera to play competition on Fridays from 12:30 to 3:30 pm in our Billiards Room. It has been a great success with the skill levels ranging from Level 4 to Level 7. The "Wild Bunch" consists of some of the best players in the league: Joe Spinella, Don Lucas, Bob Rector, Robert Turner, Mike Corbett, Carlos Rivera, LeRoy Wright, Rocket Spinosa, and Gracy Luna. We will be hosting another competitive tournament among Sun Lakes, Solera and Four Seasons in April. It will be a one-on- one singles tournament. We are looking forward to some great competitive play and taking home the trophy! If you want to play serious, competitive pool, we invite you to come by the Billiards Room and join in the stimulation of competitive play. We do not play with partners; we play one-on-one with an opponent of our skill level. We are always looking for those who want to play competitively and, who knows, you just may want to change up your game and play on the team! And, most importantly, we have a good time! ~ Gracy Luna, gracyluna@aol.com Wild Bunch Billiards 9-Ball: Runner up Larry Rice and Champion Robert Howard 8-Ball: Runner up Larry Rice and Champion Ray Windhorn
