Before things really got off the ground I took the opportunity to stop in and say Hi to Joe Newgarden and Larry Thoman at the Newgy display that was setup. As anyone who attends our SJVO in South Bend knows Newgy sponsored our tournament in 2007 and will once again be their in 2008.

SBTTC is proud to have Newgy as a sponsor and we hope you can attend the 2008 SJVO Robo-Pong Tournament on the Indiana University at South Bend Campus in May!!

In no particular order the following are the things that took place on Wednesday. As said earlier I was working 50% of the time so was not always able to get out to see everything going on. Photos are by day and in many instances are not identified by what event they were taken for. Anyone who wishes for a little more detail to be added feel free to send me the info (webmaster on homepage) and I will try to incorporate it.

Senior Men's Singles 40&O - 1st Place - Cheng (past SJVO Winner) / 2nd Place - Coach
Cadet Boys Qualifier - AJ
Senior Men's Esquire Doubles 60&O - 2nd Place - Dave Sakai & Dell Sweeris

This summarizes the results, now for the fun stuff - Pictures!!

Coaches Seemiller and Nordby show they still have the right stuff.
While watching one of Coaches matches I overheard a fellow observer say to his companion that the fire still burns bright within Coach. He fights as hard for each and every point as anybody in the hall. His companion confirmed that and added that the same fire burned inside each of his mentors. My hats off to our coaches!!
