Lemco Retakes His Spot

Tyler Lemco regained his title today by defeating Mitch Mestel in a 4-2 series victory. Mitch's jumper was not falling like it regularly does, and Lemco's shot was on fire all day. His rebounding was also top notch, successfully making a number of improbable putbacks from all different angles. It was just too much for Mestel to handle, as Lemco regains the belt and ties Mestel for season championships.

The two competitors played 3 other matches today, with Lemco winning 3 of the 4 total matches today, including one sweep. It clearly wasnt Mestel's day.

Today marked the debut of big man Jay "Stretch" Wolofsky, who was impressive in his first two matches. Although he went 0-2 on the day, it is nothing to hang his head over considering he was matched up against the top two competitors in the sport. Stretch has a solid shooting touch, uses strategic placement on his jumpers to mess with his challenger, and uses his imposing size around the net to get to a ton of putbacks. With a little work he can surely become a serious problem in this league.

The Champ Goes DOWN!

Rookie-sensation Mitch Mestel made history recently by de-throning Tyler Lemco and winning the Poolball Championship. It was an epic game where both competitors gave it their all. In a highly contested matchup that came down to the wire, it was the challenger who was able to pull out the victory. With the series tied at 3 games apiece, it came down to a decisive game 7. In the final game, the two players brought the matchup to a 6-to-4 game point. Mestel used some great strategic planning by saving his one goal-tend for the end. He grabbed a Lemco shot attempt that appeared to be going in. On the following shot, the champ must have been slightly rattled because his shot rimmed out for an easy putback victory for Mestel, solidifying his place in history.

The celebration did not last long, as the two went right back at it for a re-match. Tyler Lemco got some revenge in this one by plowing through the new champion in a 4-1 series victory.

In the Championship Rematch, Mestel was able to successfully defend his new crown by pulling off a 4-2 series victory. Lemco was shooting miserably and Mestel was proving why he was no the champion, therefore this was not much of a contest.

Congratulations to Mitch Mestel, the new Poolball Champion!

2010: THE ROOKIES

A new season is upon us, and that means a new crop of competitors. Here are the newest faces to Poolball:

Brahm "The Scene" Levine: Brahm has actually been playing for years but never got the proper introduction he deserves. "The Scene" brings an unparalleled toughness to the game that other competitors both despise and fear. His thuggish tactics include "involuntary" splashing in the face, strategically poor passing, trash talking, and throwing the ball out of the pool just to name a few. The NBA had its Bad Boy Pistons, college football had the heyday of the Miami Hurricanes, and now Poolball has Brahm Levine.

Mitch Mestel: Mitch talks a big game, but manages to back up his tough talk with stellar play in the pool. He has an impeccable shooting touch coupled with an intense mentality. After years of sitting on the sidelines, Mitch is ready to make his Poolball debut this season as one of the most highly-touted and highly-anticipated rookies of all time.

Adam "T-Bone" Greenberg: The big lefty is an imposing force in the water. Bone is a streaky performer, but once he gets on a roll there's not much that can beat him. He's also dominant around the net, using his size to control the boards. As one of the only lefties in the league, he's capable of throwing off his opponents by playing the opposite side of the net.

"Cousin" David Heuff: After starting out as the league's referee, David has begun making the transition into Pool. His game is still a bit rusty but nobody can ever knock his will to succeed or his dedication to improve.

Ian Beckenstein: Although Ian would probably prefer to play on the pool if it were frozen, he still puts his time in the water. He has an unorthodox form on his jumper but it is steadily improving.

Rico Fields: Rico uses a soft shooting touch and his impeccable athleticism around the net to his advantage. His well-rounded game is something other competitors should fear. He is arguable the most impressive physical specimen in the league, with a long wingspan and incredible jumping ability.

Jake Wolf Greenberg: Jake is a dedicated competitor in the pool. His shooting touch is hot-and-cold but he is always prepared for a challenge and is one of the most dedicated to improving. Jake's strongest aspect is his unparalleled love for the game.

2010 Season Set To Begin!

The facilities are being prepped and should be ready to use as early as this upcoming week!

Defending champion Tyler Lemco heads into the 2010 season with a whole slew of competitors aiming at his crown.

Last season saw many newcomers added to the Poolball roster. The summer of 2009 saw notable debuts from Jason Goodman, Glen Schwartz, and Ian Beckinstein, all of whom will look to improve upon their rookie seasons.

Such veterans as Ken Macintosh, Jon Stein, Joe Alfie, Rob Myerson and Mike Habib are sure to make appearances this season as well. With perennial-superstar Alex Perrault currently on sabbatical, the #1 Contender spot is currently up for grabs. The playing field is literally wide open and anybody can easily climb the rankings.

Look for Mitch Mestel to make his much anticipated debut within the near future. Mitch is a highly-hyped prospect, but it's yet to be seen if he can actually produce.
