Georgia Mountain Spring Pickleball Classic Photos

The Georgia Mountain Spring Pickleball Classic was completed on Sunday. 

Lots of western North Carolina players were participants. I will have several posts on the tournament during the week but today's post is a selection of photos of our local players and some well-known pickleball personalities. I tried to get everyone but missed several who were either my teammates (Suzanne Pell and Sandro Francioni) or playing at the same time (Beth Corn).

I don't have any official results yet but I hear that the local contingent did very well. The unofficial tally includes:

Deb Richter won a gold and silver.

Beth Corn won 2 bronzes.

Suzanne Pell won a silver and bronze.

Bruce Birdsall won a bronze.

Rick Ezrol won a bronze.

Sandro Francioni won a silver.

Paul Aaron won 2 silvers.

My apologies if this is wrong or if anything was missed. I will post the official results when available.

I also heard that Rick Ezrol and Bruce Birdsall beat the team of Byron Freso and Tom Early. Byron and Tom are both 5.0 players. I am impressed with this win by Rick and Bruce but, at the same time, not surprised. I know how good these guys are.
