Lucky Draw
This past Sunday the Los Angeles Pool League held it's first 'fun'draiser of the Spring 2022 season, the 'Lucky Draw'. Thank you to Jerry's Family Billiards for hosting us and Natalie for opening up early on a Sunday morning and keeping everybody hydrated.
Fourteen players names were put into a hat and drawn out one at a time to create the 7 competing teams.
At the mid way point a raffle for a pool cue and custom designed 'Lucky Draw' t-shirt was held for the first time players in the League. Congratulations to Jen for winning the custom shirt and Patrick for winning the pool cue. A big thank you to Paul Hughes for the pool cue donation and Tod Davenport for the two custom 'Lucky Draw' shirts. The second shirt was won by Al Ballesteros in a seperate drawing.
At the end of the day our 'King of the Hill' team of Steve Duckman and Ken Lee was de-throned by the momentum of team Bryan Haneiwich and Brendan Quigley emerging from the Loser's bracket after three wins in a row. Congratulations to Arnell Ferry and Tod Davenport our 4th Place team, Jose Torres and Paul Hughes our 3rd Place team, Ken and yours truly our 2nd Place team and Bryan and Brendan our 1st Place finishers.
Our next 'fun'draiser is on Sunday, March 13th at the Eagle L.A. It is our Johnny Cochran Memorial 'Greased Lightning' tournament. Can you beat your opponent at 8 ball on a 15 second shot clock? Come out and find out!!!!!! This was Johnny's favorite and our fastest moving tournament usually won by some of our slowest playing members!!!! Go figure! Beats me!!
