Jason Salmon Wins the MB X-Man
6:00 p.m. — Sounds like the championship match was a classic. Jason Salmon defeats Kevin Singleton in three games: 14-16, 15-13, 15-6. In the consolation match, Scott Salmon defeated rookie Tony Kurre.
5:00 p.m. – Three of the final four have been determined, and one spot is still up for grabs. The first semifinal features world #13 Kevin Singleton against #23 Scott Salmon (Salmon defeated #8 Sean Dameron in the quarterfinals). In the other semifinal, #2 Jason Salmon will play either Jon Geisen or rookie Tony Kurre.
1:00 p.m. — The games have begun at the High Fly Gym in Birmingham, Alabama. 60+ ballers are competing for the top spot at this Bright House Foundation fundraising event. Early reports claim no big upsets so far, but the hostess apparently did lose game one to a rookie. Check back later for more updates. And if anyone at High Fly is reading this, don’t forget to tweet about the goings-on and use #mball.
It was an awesome event. I hope we can do this again next year and have even more people and raise more money for the Bright House Foundation.
