Valentine’s Day Massacre (Birmingham, AL)
It was a sunny, windy day in Birmingham…what better reason to play a little Monkeyball?
The tourney started off with husband vs. wife, Sean & Missy Dameron, with Sean taking the opening game 15-0. So much for chivalry! Ashley and Stephen Stepkoski (husband & wife) also battled it out in their first match, with Stephen squeaking out a 15-12 victory. Eventual champ, Kevin Singleton, lost his first match 16-14 to Sean Dameron, but he would get his revenge later. Randy Nelms made a strong run winning his first three matches. Newcomers Melodye and Steve Guidroz went 0-2 and 1-2 respectively, but will prove to be tough opponents in the near future. Melanie Singleton put together a good run knocking out her buds Missy Dameron and Ashley Stepkoski in consecutive matches.
As mentioned earlier, Kevin lost his first match in a close one, but he fought through and conquered the loser’s bracket to make it back to the finals. Kevin took out Sean 15-1 in the first game to force a final, winner-take-all match for the title. Sean took a quick lead, but Kevin fought back from elimination and won the match 16-14 for his first career title! Congratulations, Kevin!
