Terrible weather didn't (completely) spoil the fun at Miller Park on Sunday. Temperature in the 40s and rain all day. 

There were some great games though. Bo and Shannon made one of the most terrific comebacks ever in the quarterfinals. Down 11-2 (or 11-1?) to Katie Alexander and Gail Jerge with less than 10 minutes (plus one end) to play, they came back to win 12-11!

Tracie and Kathy, after winning the National Championships in doubles just two weeks ago, continued their winning ways by defeating Shannon and Bo 13-5 in the Finals!

Saturday cookout, social play, and practice

 

































Preston held a hotdog cookout on the grill to celebrate the weekend of Mid-America Women's Doubles tournament. Many of the women scheduled to play on Sunday were able to get in a little time on the courts to help acclimate to the terrain.

Eight of us later had dinner at Little Richard's Barbeque near the Miller Park petanque terrain in Winston-Salem.
