USTA League Wrap UP
Posted by Michael Starke on 08 Nov 2004 | Tagged as: USTA
Leo O’Connor & Bill Mirch receiving captain awards from Adult League Co-ordinator Dickey Sopchak. I think they captained 3 different teams. Laurie Bowen, tournament director of the Binghamton Professional Tournament looks on with a nod of approval. Tim Saunders lurks in the background.
Now that all of our USTA leagues are finished, below is a recap of league play.
Adult League winners:
Women 2.5 Brenda Story
Women 3.0 Sue McNamara Men 3.0 Gary Crowley
Women 3.5 Jones/Starke Men 3.5 Orville Wright
Women 4.0 Babs Hoesel Men 4.0 Bob deVente
Senior Winners
Women 3.0 Arline Kutz
Womens 3.5 Lou Ann Rauber Men 3.5 Dick Hoesel
Super Senior Winners
Women 6.0 Marilyn Stine
Women 7.0 Kay Bertrand Men 7.0 Dick Pastore
The regional level of play proved difficult for our adult league teams. The only team to advance to Buffalo for the Sectionals was Orville Wright’s 3.5 team. In super senior competition, Marlyin Stine’s team once again advanced to the sectionals held in New Rochelle at the prestigious New Rochelle Tennis Club, where they ran into some “young chics” who were barnstormers.
Under the tent was the happening place at our season end USTA party this past July
All in all, over 400 players participated in the Mixed, Adult, Senior & Super Senior leagues. The league hopes to build on this strong base, and field even more competitive teams next year. It is never to early to start planning and practicing for next year.
Mixed Doubles leagues will begin right after the 1st of the year. We will use the month of December to form and set up leagues. If you are not currently on a team, you may sign up at the desk, or call Reeta. We will attempt to run leagues in the 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0 divisions. Leauges will run January through early April. Matches will be Friday night, Sat night and Sunday afternoon. Start planning now on getting ready for winter Mixed Doubles!
Lisa Kelly makes her presence known at our party. Everyone takes note. A light moment to say the least
Special thanks to our USTA league committee Tim Saunders, Reeta Hayes and Dickey Sopchak for doing a great job. This was the best year ever for USTA leagues. USTA Adult league tennis is thriving in Binghamton.
