FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2022 61 On June 28, we had our second quarterly tournament. We had a great turnout with some very competitive teams. Team Kim Samuals and Barbara Morton had already lost one game coming into the finals and had to beat undefeated Ron Erickson and Johnny Ramirez. The ladies had to win the next two games to win the tournament. It was a nail bitter, but the ladies played the best pool and won against a very good team. Congratulations Kim and Barbara. ~ David Thomason Billiards for Fun We practice on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 6:30 to 9 pm and have a meeting on the first Wednesday of each month. Our 8-Ball tournament is on the second Wednesday of the month and the 9-Ball tournament is on the fourth Wednesday of the month. In June, we canceled the matches against Solera Oak Valley due to Covid. In July, we expect to play the two additional 8-Ball tournaments with Solera.

In the June 8-Ball tournament, Jim Kelly sent Larry Rice to the loser bracket where John Johnson knocked Larry out of the tournament in the semi-final. John met Jim in the finals where John came away with the win. Congratulations to John Johnson, this month's 8-Ball champion, and to runner-up Jim Kelly. In the June 9-Ball tournament, Larry Rice went undefeated to meet up with John Johnson for the finals.
