| 2006 Cuetec Cues WPBA
Nationals Welcome to the 2006 Cuetec Cues WPBA Nationals. We started the week off with our yearly awards presentations. Carol Clark received the Presidents Award for her WPBA work above and beyond the call of duty. If she looks like she is crying,.........she is.  Jennifer Barretta was just singing that favorite old song, "I won the Tournament Directors award, and you guys didn't" The T.D. Award is given the the player who has shown the most sportsmanship and professionalism during the year.  Megan receives the "Most the Improved Player" award from Ramona Biddle.  Newcomer, Xiaoting Pan, recieves the "Rookie of the Year" award. Xiaoting started the season ranked below 64th and prior to the final event she was ranked 15th. Now that's some year!!!!!  Congratulations to Belinda Campos Calhoun, here with her sister, Yvonne "Bonnie" Campos, on being inducted to the WPBA Hall of Fame.  Of course, serious work had to be done in the annual WPBA business meeting. Ewa Laurance and Vicki Paksi congratulate (?) newly elected board member Dawn Hopkins.  Then, it was time to start thinking 9-ball. Just ask Melissa Herndon.  or Jeanette Lee......  Imagine being in your first professional tournament and having to play Allison Fisher. Thats just what Kim Jones had to do. Welcome to the WPBA.  So we finally reach finals day. We are expecting 80 MPH winds today in Lincoln City, but inside the tournament room...its the calm before the storm. Allison Fisher plays....  Kelly Fisher in the first step towards the 2006 Cuetec Cues 9-ball Nationals.  As if playing under pressure isn't bad enough. Imagine playing against that guy or gal you really want to beat at your local billiards club...........but add a room full of spectators and three cameras at your back!!  Give yourself a hand Ally,......you're in the finals!!!!  Between rounds, and award was given to Hank Hayes of Simonis Cloth in honor of his years of support for the WPBA. Thanks, Hank!  Semi 2. Karen Corr vs. Ga-Young Kim - Karen Corr at the office.  Who says Karen never shows emotion.  One definition of a hard days work is having to beat Karen Corr to play in the Finals.  This is what a happy Ga-Young Kim looks like as she prepares for the finals after defeating Karen 7-5.  In the finals, you're going to have to cross a lot of bridges to get the title. Doesn't matter if your Ga-Young or....  Allison Fisher.  |
