June 2007
Rogers Back in
the Winner's Circle
A determined Leslie Anne
Rogers climbed
through the brackets at Fast Eddie's Billiards in College
Station, Texas
the weekend of June 23 and 24 to claim first place and the WPBA
Qualifier.
Leslie Anne was on fire and no
one could win more than 3
games against her as she won 7-1 over Christy Herzog, 7-2 over
DeAnn Bray-Warner, 7-2 over Terry Petrosino and 7-2 over Tara
McCracken before winning 7-3 over Kyu Yi to claim the hot seat.
Kyu Yi prevailed over Tara McCracken 7-3 on the one-loss side for a
rematch with Leslie Anne
but Leslie Anne won their second meeting with an even more lopsided
score of 7-1. Leslie Anne won $750 for first place and the
coveted
WPBA Qualifier for the Oklahoma October WPBA event. The
ever-present Kyu Yi won
$550 for a great tournament and second place while Tara "FireCracker"
McCracken won $400 for
her great third place finish. Terry
Petrosino, always a force, claimed the fourth place spot while Michelle
Abernathy placed a respectable 7th place along side Lisa Marr. Amanda Lampert won the Second
Chance
tournament.
All
board members also placed well: Julie Stephenson and Melinda
Hinojosa
both placed 5th, Helen Hayes placed 9th and Monica Anderson captured
2nd place in the Second Chance tournament.
Fast Eddie's in College Station
was a new
host site and bartender Chris was awesome along with their manager,
James. We hope to be back next year as the location was
exceptional. Special thanks to our awesome sponsor, Wes
Hunter, who has been supporting the tour for over 14 years now!
Carter Nakashima, a fan favorite and
awesome friend of the tour, was surprised with a Birthday party from
the ladies. His 50th Birthday was topped off when he won the
beautiful Hunter Classics Custom Cue on Sunday!
