Jim Padgitt
Two skilled PebbleCreek (PC) Billiard Club players captured Grand Championship honors with recently concluded 8-Ball and 10-Ball tournaments. Both tourneys are extended 8-week events played in a demanding round-robin format.
Harold Erker earned this season’s 8-Ball Grand Championship by winning 49 games and a total of 58 points. (One point is awarded for each game won, plus a 3-point bonus for each weekly mini-tournament victory.)
Notching second- and third-place 8-Ball finishes were Jim Sykes (38 game wins, 44 points) and Clay Beeson (32 wins, 35 points.) Other 8-Ball tourney entrants included Gary Weaver, Jim Padgitt, Mike Finnegan, Joe Armbruster, Marv Schrock, Joe Browner, Chuck Johnson, and Eric Spano.
As 10-Ball Grand Champion, Joe Armbruster closed strong with 47 games wins and 53 points. Second- and third-place 10-Ball runners-up were Jim Padgitt (42 wins, 51 points) and Marv Schrock (36 wins, 39 points), respectively. Additional players included Mike Finnegan, Chuck Johnson, and Joe Browner.
Eight-Ball play convenes in the PC Billiard Room Mondays at 2 p.m., and 10-Ball tournaments are played Thursdays at 9 a.m. To join the PC Billiard Club, pick up membership information in the Billiard Room on the west side of Tuscany Falls Clubhouse, just down the hallway from Renaissance Theater entrance.
