Overall Right and Left Novice

We had 64 entries from nine states and (thanks to all that attended), managed to raise nearly 2,000 in entries and special donations to the Ebeneezer's Children's Home of North Wilkesboro. The home was so thankful and one of their representatives said it was the largest donation they received in some time. Most notably, I would like to thank Ken Smith for making the largest donation (above and beyond his entry fees).

And a special thanks to those that made their way out from far away places, Ken and Dave Marrocco for traveling from Maryland to participate in challenge matches without awards and entering the open classes, Benji Dwyer for coming all the way down from upstate New York, Anthony Edens and Bill Brown for coming down from Kentucky.

A few notes: Giles Russell Jr.'s left was Bad-A yesterday. Benji's left arm is freak, and special agent Mark Taggart looked solid. Kent Buckalew...you did your thing my man!! You should be near the top of those southeast rankings right handed now, and should move up a few notches on the left!!

[Giles Russell]

Good job James on the tourney and your supermatches!

Benji's left is ridiculous

Taggart's right was in beastmode

Junior Andrews is in top form right now

Chris Heath "did work"

....and Micheal Avery has a nice one handed 3 point shot.....lol

[Ken Smith]

The tourney was great James, I had a great time. When I woke up today I felt like I was ran over by a truck....

chris health, i plan on being a arm-wrestler, until my body dying again..

i jst need table time then,,,,,,,,

[jamesretarides]

Thanks guys, I don't think I have ever seen two armwrestlers pull more matches than Kenny and Dave. I think if I pulled that many matches I would have wanted to get hit by a truck. Sorry about the disconnected call today Dave. My battery died. I would have called you back but I knew we were wrapping up the call anyway.

[Jason Otto]

I agree, that was pretty awesome. Congrats on a great tourney James. So many great matches throughout the day.

[Robert Miller]

Thanks James... Had a blast sir!!! Nice meeting all you gentleman and hope to see ya' @ GAG!

Micheal, get down to 230's bud, so we can have a war!
