| Stop #6: Townsend
Wins, Orem Wows and Where's TK? |
| It was a beautiful July weekend in Palatka, Florida.
The 23 players at Stix N Stones Billiards at this past
weekend's Pechauer Southeast 9-Ball Tour were itching
to play. It appeared like a normal weekend regional event,
but fate would deem otherwise. Day 1, Saturday, came and
went as any other weekend tournament. At the end of the
day, the final 4 players decided by a unanimous vote to
start on Sunday at 10 am. instead of noon or 1 pm, which
is customary. Now, as we all know pool players as a rule
are not generally considered morning people.
At the designated hour on day 2, three of the four, Scotty
Townsend, David Grossman and Richie Orem assembled in
the host venue to start the money rounds. But where was
Tommy Kennedy? The jovial Kennedy it seemed had not slept
very much the previous few days and could not be rousted
for his first match against Scotty Townsend. Fortunately
for TK, he was on the winner's side of the bracket and
good fortune for Townsend who cruised into the hot seat
without having to chalk his cue.
Kennedy did arrive in time for his second match. He goodnaturedly
shrugged off the forfeit and looked to be hitting very
well during his warm-up prep for the match against Richie
Orem. They tossed the coin, Orem wins the first break.
He breaks and runs out. Game 2 - Orem has the break again,
being the event is winner breaks. Then Orem proceeded
to run out again. Game 3, deja-vu. Game 4, a pattern is
being established, game 5, see where this is going? Yes,
Orem broke and ran 9 racks in a row. TK never got out
of his seat to shoot a ball and settled for 3rd place.
Orem, after the amazing display of extraordinary table
prowess, now faced Scotty Townsend in the finals. Townsend
did not appear to be concerned facing someone who had
just put a 9-pack together and proceeded to win 11-7.
It was an amazing day of poolplaying to say the least
and a congratulations must go to all of the finishers.
We would also like to acknowledge Tom Potter of Jax, Florida
for his assistance in running the event. Additionally
the highest lady finisher, WPBA Touring Pro and Board
Member Gale Grecar received $50.00. The highest junior
finisher was a 3-way tie between Scottie Schwingle Jr.,
Aaron Bolling, and Kelly Schwingle who each received $17.00.
