The week before the Hall of Fame banquet and redline singles tournament took us to St. Cloud and Ft. Myers for the pro doubles tournaments and to Lakeland for the national singles.

We’ll start with P15A in St. Cloud where Glenda Brake made a nice jump up to a tie in 6th place in the season’s point standings with her win, and the old pros Paul Prescott and Phil Rebholz bested Earl Ball and Henry Strong for the title.

Down in Ft. Myers Pam Nurnberger and Terri Smith increased their stranglehold on the top two spots in the season standings, while Dwayne Cross moved to 187 career points with his win with partner Larry Mardis. With only 13 more points needed to make the state Hall of Fame I’ll be shocked if Cross doesn’t get it by the end of the season.
