2009 VNEA State 8-Ball Team Tournament

The VNEA State Team Tournament started on Friday, and after winning the SDABA Men's Open A Division with my men's team, Knuckle UNO, I played in this tournament with my women's team, the Knuckle Diamonds, in the Women's A division. We all played terrific, and after two days of pool, we found ourselves on the hill Sunday morning, on the winning side of the bracket with no losses.





However, 8:30 came REALLY early Sunday morning, and we weren't able to maintain our lead, with all of us struggling a bit. The Phoenix I, last year's champions, came up from the loser's bracket, and after an extremely close first match, which came down to the 16th game of the match, they beat us again in the second match, not even having to play the last game.
