CLASH OF THE TITANS!

After soundly defeating Hall of Fame by a count of 4-1 in round one of the qualifier, Lancaster's 3.5 team will take on Glenn Feagan's team on Saturday at 10am to determine who will advance to the NEOTA playoffs.
Grey Kennedy was super in downing his first singles opponent 6-1,6-2. Wally Mueller fell 1-6, 4-6 at second to even the match at one all. It was all doubles after that as Renzelman and Wacker(the twin towers) prevailed 7-5, 6-2 at first. Mucklo and Pare toughed it out for a 6-4, 6-4 win at second and after crushing the opposition 6-0 in the first set, Hansar and Lancaster hung on for a 7-5 second set win. Glenn's team beat North Canton 3-2 . Both singles were victorious and Tony Crimaldi and Chris Prall clinched the win in a third set tiebreak. See you guys Satuday. Good luck to John Clark's NEOTA champion Super Senior team tonight as they attempt to finish the regular season undefeated.

River Oaks Seniors have Purrrr...fect season!

River Oaks senior 3.5 team completed a undefeated season Tuesday night at North Ridge. They took Hank Thomay's boy 2-1. Egon Luengo and Frank Mucklo won on one. Tim Rickard and Jay Hansar took court two. Dick Lancaster and Joe Pare almost pulled out a rabbit being down 8 -1 in a match tiebreaker coming back to lose 10 - 12. Hank Thomay talks about sending his loosing players to Siberia while Egon listens and Jay goes for the chips. As we were leaving we saw a large bus pulling up to North Ridge with a sign that said "Siberian Express". Good luck to Hank's players; dress warm.
