JAMES LIN AND VIRGIE FUKEDA GOBBLE UP MIXED DOUBLES
THANKSGIVING ROUND ROBIN
Jumping
out to an early lead in total games won, James Lin teamed up with Vergie
Fukeda on Saturday, November 23 to roll through a fairly strong but friendly
mixed doubles field in the Foundation's first annual Thanksgiving Turkey
Round Robin. Lin and Fukeda scored 23 games throughout the 6 match round
robin, and had clinched the title by the beginning of the last round.
For their efforts, Lin and Fukuda each received a 20 pound turkey for
their Thanskgiving feasts.
Myrah Kim and Kenneth Johnson edged out Winnie Harris and Ray Bartels
for second place, but had to play a tiebreaker to decide an initial second
place tie. Kim and Johnson each took home a 10 pound turkey.
The next event, the Holiday "Oddball" Team Challenge takes place
on December 7 and 8 at the newly built Tripler Hospital courts. For more
