Trombetta Beats Schnugg; Top Four Seeds Make Semifinals in 16s
Ty Trombetta's 6-4, 6-4 win over Nate Schnugg was Friday's surprise result in Kalamazoo, although the other three singles matches played out more predictably, leaving plenty of time for everyone to make it to the famous Clambake, which is a Lobster/Crab Leg/Steak/Shrimp extravaganza for semifinalists, their families and tournament officials and sponsors. With seating for nearly 400 on the Kalamazoo College "Quad", the festivities, which include a live band, are becoming a part of the Kalamazoo tournament's legend. I know I wouldn't miss it.
For a report on the action Friday on the Stowe Courts, see my wrap up on ustaboys.com. There are also photos of two of the Sportsmanship Award winners, Houston Barrick, who added the 18s Stowe award to the Kaplan award he won in the 16s in 2005; and Ian Chadwell, who won the Wes Richards Feed In sportsmanship award. The Kaplan award for this year in 16s has not yet been presented.
