Santa Barbara Pool League - Week In Review
Winter 2009/10 Week 7
Players of the Week for November 17, 2009
Bryan Lum (Brewco Lounge 2) and Nick Lamb (Roundin Third 2)
Bryan's third win of the night was a break-and-run and the clinching game in Brewco's 8-7 win against Cliff Room 1. Nick's three wins helped Roundin Third 2 get their first victory of the season.
Honorable Mention(s): Leana Finley (Sportsman 1) Leana had a 40 point night to put her in the A Division driver's seat. Matt Topete (Creekside 1) It took him 4 seasons, but Matt finally got a three-win night, propelling his team to a 10-5 victory. Kez Gillatt (Monty's 1) Kez, a league rookie, nailed down his first-ever three-win night, leading Monty's to a huge victory over Don Q's 2. Robert Rosa (Don Q's 1) Robert's three wins helped Don Q's come from behind and defeat Sportsman 2. Andy Reagan (Sportsman 2) Though his team lost, Andy rolled in his first-ever league break 'n run. Kerry Randolph / Phil Beach (Monty's 3) Kerry and Phil combined for six wins, dispelling any thoughts Roundin Third 1 had of an upset. H.A. Johnson / Zack Fisher (Carp Billiards 1) H.A. and Zack both went 3-for-3 to help lift Carp to their second victory of the season.
1st place Break Time 4 turned in another dominating performance, defeating Cliff Room 3 by a 12-3 score. John Rivetti, Steve Moreno, and Jim Green all had three wins for Break Time, who improved their pristine record to 7-0. Donald Jordan, Greg Contreras, and Norm Brown each had one win for 12th place Cliff Room 3 (1-6).
Roundin Third 2 ended their title as "League's Last Winless Team" as they manhandled host Cliff Room 4, winning 10-5. Roundin Third opened up a quick 2-0 lead and never looked back; they had the match won by the 10th game. Nick Lamb led Roundin Third with three wins, though teammate Kathy Boyd almost had her first-ever three win night. In game three, Kathy had a thin cut on the 8-ball. The shot was made difficult because the cue ball was millimeters away from the 8-ball, and both balls were near the end rail. Boyd made the shot, but Cliff Room called a foul. Roundin Third disputed the call, and after much discussion it was decided that the game should be replayed. Kathy lost the replay, but her team won the match. Brothers Josue and Javier Solis led Cliff Room with two wins each. Roundin Third 2 (1-5) jumped up two spots to 11th place. Cliff Room 4 (1-6) fell back to last place.
Matt Topete notched his first-ever three-win night in four seasons of play, helping Creekside 1 defeat hometown rival Creekside 2 by a 10-5 score. Creekside 1 jumped out to a 4-0 lead, but behind two-game winners Jacob Viani and Justin Brown, Creekside 2 was able to cut that lead to 6-5. Matt's win in game 12 sparked a four-game Creekside 1 rally that closed out the match. 8th place Creekside 1 (2-4) and 9th place Creekside 2 (2-5) swapped places in the standings.
Host Don Q's 1 overcame a 3-1 deficit to defeat their neighbors, Sportsman 2, by a 10-5 score. Two-game winners Kate Williams and Andy Reagan helped Sportsman jump out to the early lead, but Don Q's, led by three-game winner Robert Rosa, buckled down and quickly regained the lead. Reagan's second win was a break-and-run; his first ever in league play. With the win, Don Q's 1 (5-2) moved up into the top 4 in A Division. 7th place Sportsman 2 fell to 3-4.
3rd place Monty's 1 hosted 4th place Don Q's 2 in the A Division showcase match of the week, a battle for 3rd place. This match started off very close as neither team held more than a one-game lead through the first seven games. It was all Monty's after that. Kez Gillatt had three wins and Ernesto Sanchez added his second table run of the season as Monty's went on to win 8 of the last 9 games. Steve Myers had two of the four Don Q's game wins. Monty's 1 (5-1) held on to 3rd place, while Don Q's 2 (4-2) slipped back to 5th place.
