Silver Bells and Silver Medals

Silver bells, Silver bells, it's Christmas time in the city.

Silver Medals, Silver Medals, it's winning time in the family.

It was a silver weekend. My dad and Lucinda played in the Utah Championships. My dad scored a silver in the men's singles and Lucinda a silver in the women's doubles. So it was pretty cool to add to more silvers to the family with Ryan's silver in Men's Singles and mine in Women's Singles.

Ryan lost his first match to the gold medalist. But he worked his way (really well) up the loser's bracket  and into the gold medal match against the same guy AGAIN. He won both games in a row......pushing them to one more game to 15 points. And he couldn't quite pull it off and ended up with a silver. Go Ryan, he plays so well.



There were less people in singles than in doubles, but some really nice ladies. I lost the gold medal to the sweet lady in the middle. She won 11-8, 11-8. I played very conservative since I hadn't done singles before, so next time I think I will hit the net more and be more aggressive. But I would especially love to medal in mixed doubles. SOOO competitive.
