THE CLASSIC AT WOODSIDE MEADOWS
Tooker's House - Ann Arbor, MI
July 30, 2006

A mix of strong rookies, seasoned veterans and world-ranked players headlined the second event of the summer at Woodside Meadows. Although there were no dog incidents this time around, an incoming storm almost ruined the fun for Ann Arbor's Monkeyballers.

After a relatively quiet first 15 matches (except for the lengthy, but well-played, Partyka/Shundry gab-fest), the dark skies moving in from the west caught the attention of the participants. Meteorologist Jason Tooker and his AccuWeather laptop predicted about 15 more minutes of dry conditions ¡V play fast, he said.   And Tooker did just that disposing of promising rookie Robert Preseau in four quick rounds, and then jumping on Casey Frushour big early before Frushour mounted his second huge comeback of the day to take the losers bracket championship.

The championship match turned into Speed Monkeyball as the winds picked up, the temperature plunged and lighting flashed nearby. As the rest of the competitors sprinted to pick up beer bottles, party cups and a random plastic container that had blown across the lawn, big bro Andy Frushour topped his younger brother to take his second title of the summer.
