In our 8-Ball Tournament, Joe Avilas proved you're never
too old to play or to win. Joe went into the finals undefeated.
Thanh Harrah lost one game in regular play (to Joe). She went
on to defeat several opponents and made the finals to match up
against Joe again.
Joe only needed one win to be the champion. In the finals,
Thanh won the first game using her trademark defensive
positioning, however, Joe won Game 2 making him the
tournament champion.
The 9-Ball champion this month was Rick Loney. Rick went
into the final match undefeated and faced Ray Windhorn (a
rematch of their epic battle two months ago). Ray needed to
beat Rick twice to win. Ray made the 9 ball in the first game,
banking the cue ball off of the 4 ball, into the 9 ball and making
the 9 ball in the corner pocket. In game 2 Rick banked the cue
ball off the rail into the 5 ball, which then hit the 9 ball rolling it
into the side pocket and winning the tournament.
