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!
