DALLAS CRUSH win the 2024 Championship
Aug 26, 2024 - Press Release
The 2024 Season has come to an end in spectacular fashion! Six hours of pickleball fun began at 11am Saturday inside the cool confines of Pikla Pickleball facility in Mansfield Texas. Our first semifinal featured the regular season points leader and last year runner up Westside Drillers taking on the league road warriors...the Hill Country Bandits. Both squads came out wearing new "kits" for the match. Bandit Captain Craig Bobo set a lineup that swept the first round 6-0. Regretfully, league founder and Drillers Captain Lew Lewis was unable to participate. However the Drillers bounced back taking 4 of the 6 second round matches. When Bobo and fellow NPL Houston Hammers Dino Patane won their first game 15-12, the bandits secured their spot in the Finale.
Our second semifinal had our top two scoring average leagers facing off against each other. Todd Jones' Dallas Crush squad jumped out to a 5-1 lead after round one. The Gladiators from Collin County were led by John Hurlbert. His second round teams were able to spit two matches but were dormie at 9-3 heading into the final frame. The Rich Lopez and Ben Paquette win secured the ticket to the finals for the Crush.
*The Bronze Medal match between the Gladiators and Drillers was a nip and tuck affair. All 18 games were required to be played. But in the end, the Drillers won their last two games to clinch the victory.
*The GOLD MEDAL FINAL began with an epic 3-3 split after the first round. Captain Jones made a few roster alignment changes which led to a 6-0 sweep in the second round. And once Michael McMahon and newcomer Blake Arrand won their first game, the CRUSH could hoist their trophy!
