[Comments and photos from Joe Seidler]
There is something special about the Condors (perhaps other teams have it too, but I doubt if very many). They never give up, and they never let up. At 5-5 in the finals, it appeared to me they were getting tired; and they went down 6-8. Playing the 3rd game of the day and down to 15 players, that's not too surprising. But then they did something they have often done before. They persevered and began winning points. They tied it up and stayed tied until 13-13. Then one error on 'O' and it was 13-15. It was too big a deficit too late in the game. I congratulate them on a very good tournament!
