THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER 5 August 2019 Charbonneau Tennis Club By STEPHEN HALL Tennis tournament proves success despite rain The 13th annual tournament got off to a slow start with rain forcing some of the matches to be resched- uled. Fortunately, the HALL weather got better and Tournament Director Craig Koessler, assisted by volunteers from Wilsonville High School, did an excellent job of making the necessary adjustments and completing all of the matches by late Sunday afternoon. The number of participants was down compared with previous years, particu- larly in the junior categories. Also, a number of players were unable to enter the tournament because they were scheduled to play in USTA matches. Next year we may schedule the tourna- ment at a different time. As usual, Wind- ermere Realtors provided a nice BBQ on Saturday afternoon and the Saturday evening potluck and silent auction went very well. Special thanks also go out to Players Racquet Shop for helping out with prizes. Congratulations to the following club members who won their event in the tournament: ■ Men’s 4.0 singles: Tom Lonergan ■ Men’s 7.0 (combined) doubles: Steve Ryan & Gary Townsend ■ Men’s 8.0 (combined) doubles: Gary & Shawn McKenzie ■ Women’s 6.0 (combined) doubles: Swathi Karlapati & Kate Schramm The full set of the tournament results can be viewed on the USTA Tournament website using the following address: http://tournaments.usta.com Tourna- ment #: 600028519.
