Good Tournament! Mike and his crew know how to run things!
Not a huge tournament but the great pullers that were there made it worth while.
Good super matches!!
Mike West keeps his streak alive by beating Bart Wood 3-1
Bart pulled good! The first match i thought was the best.It went back in forth in a hook.I thought Bart was about to take it but Mike in his crazy endurance was able to with stand and pull it off..
Good Job to both Mike and Bart for putting on a good show!!

Quinn vs Wagner
Well Jim won 3-1 but i was very impressed with Quinn's top roll in the first match!
Jim Wagner made the necessary adjustments and was able to Dominate the next 3!! Good job to both of you!!
Jim had a stomach problem which forced him to pull out the rest of the tournament...Hope you recover soon Buddy!!

Brad Spine won the 43's and maybe 65's but not 100% on that?
Marvin Berry looked good today as well!
Doug Allen got 2nd to Blaine Middleton in the supers left!
Hats off to Doug also for Beating Bob Sutton lefty..
Today was Bob's first tournament back since his surgery..He looks strong and look out when he gets back to !00%!!
Kenny Flynn placed 2nd right hand supers to Blaine Middleton!
Blaine Looked very very good..Great hand control!
Terry Began did a outstanding Job winning the 220 right hand class..
1st time i got to see Sterling Miles pull today! WOW!!! This guy has some serious horse power!!!
Thats all i can remember right now!
Thanks again to Mike and Chris West for doing such a good job and running everything so smoothly!

Wow good job Mike!!! Gotta admit I didn't think you'd beat Bart. Guess I'll never underestimate you again.

Good job to everybody else, too, sounds like it was a good tournament, thanks for the results!
