With a 3rd place Blue finish in May,
Jack Lovgren held on to his lead in the 05 Grind Prix. Jas
Chauhan, who took 3rd in Gold remains 8 points behind as the
final tournament of the summer approaches.
Leroy Luokkannen slipped past Sue Yang in a
playoff singles set to capture the May Gold, while junior
Ashley Ockey finished in front of Ken Johnson to claim the Blue
title.
The Fraz Knocked Out
In a post-tournament exhibition, The Fraz
(Bob Fraser) was knocked down by a Luokkannen forehand.
Semi-unconscious, The Fraz was revived by Bryne Downing,
who administered a therapeutic massage to the neck as Chan Po and
Jerry Corwin looked on in disbelief.
Karen Shepard Shows Up
Included in the Gold draw was legendary
veteran, Karen Shepard, who made her first appearance in years.
Shepard, a longtime member of RPTC, promised to be back as soon
as the courts are resurfaced.

April Summary
|
Chan Po won Gold in April,
proving that his March victory in that same top division was no
fluke. Po edged his longtime partner, Jas Chauhan,
by two points for the title. According to Chauhan, the
fact that Po was not seeded gave him an advantage because the
seeds play each other in the final round and that keeps their
respective scores down. "Now he should be seeded," says
Chauhan, "based on past results." Jerry Corwin
and Tim Hernandez tied for third in the division.
Chito Marquez Takes Blue
Wife Ties Buettner
The big forehand of Chito
Marquez led him to a solid Blue victory.
To earn the title, Marquez had to play both with and against his
wife, Lucy. "I did better playing with her than
against her," says Chito, "I didn't know she was so tough."
Lucy Marquez ended up tied for second with Doug Buettner,
an acrobatic newcomer.
Hernandez Wins Make-up Event
Chauhan, Luokkannen 2nd
A second tournament was held
in April because of reschedule confusion compounded by sunny
skies on a day twelve thunderstorms were supposed to collide
directly over Roeding Park. Instead, it was Tim Hernandez
who collided with hapless opponents as he stroked his was to
Gold victory. Jas Chauhan and LeRoy Luokkannen
tied for 2nd. In the Blue group, Jorge Portela and
his arch rival, Bob Seligman, combined with veteran
Jack Lovgren to force a three-way tie for first.
Lovgren's efforts gave him top honors in what is becoming a
close Grind Prix race.
