The sPringPong 2011 Doubles Championship goes 3 games!
Killers take it 2 to 1!
Killers, John Haras (2011 Singles champion) and Rick Angell defeat The Good Guys, Bobby Harbin and Eddie Narvaez in a hard-fought 3 game Series Final. Many strong volleys dominated the games and a few miracle shots helped Killers overcome the last tournament champions, The Good Guys. The Doubles Championship trophy will be on display at the TRS DFW site upon completing a national tour of the player's home towns.

Sweaty and very relieved, The Killers' Rick Angell stated, "I did not want to see it go to another series - we had to beat them now or risk a momentum shift. We didn't talk about it, but this was definitely a grudge match for us, since these guys beat us in the finals last time around - barely", he added.

John Haras, beaming brightly during the multi-national post-match news conference, "It was a great match. Hard fought on both sides. I could feel the nerves from all players. Especially mine!"

The Good guys, Harbin was gracious, "You win some and you lose some...today we were beaten by a worthy opponent..Congratulations to Rick and John ..job well done."

Narvaez, normally shy of the media, kept his comments brief, "The better team won...", as he slowly zipped up his custom Stiga paddle case and left the arena.


A big thanks to all players who participated and made this tournament rock! Lots of good, new talent out there!
