FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2017 51 It was a fun month for the 8-Ball Club with our regular tournaments, our semi-annual picnic and the Independence Day tournament and awards ceremony. "Another beautiful month in paradise", as Del Lyles, our captain, would say. The battle of the Titans (Larry Rice and Dewey Allen) was staged when Dewey Allen remained undefeated the whole match prior to the finals. MaryAnn Diehl sent Larry to the loser's bracket in round three only to be sent down herself in round four by Dewey. Larry emerged to challenge Dewey in the finals to take round one. Dewey went on to defeat Larry in the second game and secure the monthly title. The 9-Ball tournament brought MaryAnn Diehl into the finals with zero losses after five rounds of play. Leo Babin, with only one loss, jumped up from the Loser's Bracket to meet MaryAnn in the finals. Leo took game one to even the match at one loss each. The last game and the match were taken by MaryAnn to crown her the 9 Ball monthly champion. Cheers to Dewey Allen and MaryAnn Diehl, our monthly winners!

We are gearing up for our next season of play beginning the first week of September. We are looking forward to the placement of the 9' tournament billiards table in our billiards room, which will improve the skill level of all who enjoy the game. The Wild Bunch consists of some of the best players in the league: Larry Chase, Pete Antoine, Mike Corbett, Carlos Rivera, LeRoy Wright and Gracy Luna. There are eight teams in the league, with 62 serious players, all vying for the coveted championship trophy, and Four Seasons Wild Bunch, again, proved to the competition that they are the team to beat! 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 your 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! ~ Gracy Luna
