Well, the tall lady and I are here in Hollywood Florida for the WPBA championships and thus far its been pretty interesting. Debbie lost her opening round match in a 9-8 thriller to Asia Cycak, but she refused to let the loss get to her. In her second match, she sent Mirjana Grujicic packing with a 9-8 victory, setting up a third round match with Kim White. Debbie will be playing Kim at 11:45AM EST, so I’ll be back later today with the results of the match.
In the “Friends of Frank” watch, Monica Webb, Helena Thornfeldt and Sarah Rousey all won their first two matches. They’ll be matched up against three of the biggest names in the WPBA, with Monica going against Jeanette Lee, Helena matching up with Allison Fisher and Sarah taking on Karen Corr.
Check back later and I’ll have more updates from the Schjodt Watch.
Well, so far we’ve been having a much better time in Florida than in the last couple of events. The Tall Lady finished 4th in the Ladies Spirit Tour finale and in the process scored a win over Yu Ram Cha which was pretty sweet. The competition at that Spirit Tour event was just brutal with the final four being Debbie Schjodt, Monica Webb, Helena Thornfeldt and Tracie Hines (who won the event). I saw some other familiar faces there with Michell Monk, Tiffany Nelson and of course my old pal Niki Rasmussen who was rockin’ my new t-shirt.
Anyway, we’re sticking around the Florida area this week since the WPBA Championships start in a couple days over in Hollywood. It’ll probably be a little bit before we get pictures of the Spirit Tour event up since Debbie’s training for this weekend, but we’ll get ‘em up soon.
10AM matches and Debbie don’t seem to get along very well, as my handler and alltime favorite WPBAer Debbie Schjodt lost a tough match 9-6 to Liz Lovely who just came off winning the World Junior 10 Ball Championship. Some bad breaks, a few bad rolls and a 5-2 lead can turn around on you pretty quick. Next up for the tall lady is the loser of the Helena Thornfeldt/Irene Henry match.
