Christmas 8-Ball Singles Tournament
Pool
Players of The Brooke want to thank our generous sponsors
Lindsay’s Quality Cues, Truly Nolan, Sunny Side Up Café, and 00R00
Auto. 15 weeks after closing the
Starter Shack, the Pool Players of the Brooke Billiards Club hosted the Inaugural 8-Ball Singles
Tournament in HOA1’s newly opened, beautiful Catalina Recreation Center
(CRC). The CRC Billiard Room houses 3
brand new Connelly 8 foot pool tables with Simonis 360 cloth, 3 eye catching Diamond
pool table lights, and Aramith Tournament Belgian Pool Balls. The room is adorned with billiard art and
there is plenty of room for the spectators and participants to move around
comfortably. We all love this new
venue!
Tournament Directors were Dominic Borland and Joe Giammarino. The following field of 17 players gathered to play competitive 8-Ball. Dan “Oh No!” Stebbins, Dominic “The Doctor” Borland, Jack Hepner, Bob “O” Ogle, Terry Sterling, Warren Henderson, Jerry Savage, Jerry Cogswell, Gary “One Rail” Barlow, Jim “Shooter” Fabio, Joey “The Bartender” Poulin, Gary Rowell, Jan “Banker” Stebbins, Tom “Ski” Kaliski, Randy “Thin Man” Smith, Joe “Fast Eddie” Giammarino, Richard “Loose Rack” Galant.

The PPB wants to extend a BIG thank you to all our participants and sponsors. On a special note we had one brave PPB lady Jan Stebbins, who jumped into the fray to compete against 16 men and won her first matchup. In her next match she came within one shot of sending Joe Giammarino into the loser’s bracket. She was then defeated by Dan Stebbins her husband! Nice job Jan, your game is moving in the right direction, we hope Dan cooked you dinner last night.
The 8-Ball Singles tournament started at 1:00 PM and lasted 3 and a half hours with 47 games of 8-Ball being played. We competed and met some new friends that shared our passion. THAT is a good day! RACK’EM UP!Joe Giammarino jgpool@outlook.com and Dominic Borland dominicborland@gmail.com.
