The 41st Turkey Paddleball Tournament was held Saturday at the Bay Area Family Y.

This year (2009), Fourteen players had their names drawn out of a hat to determine partners. The last two standing were Sandy DeGreif and Scott Carmona both of Bay City. They defeated Joe Siniff and Scott Wittbrodt, Bay City, in the finals 16-21,21-9,21-13.

The consolation winners were Saginaw brothers Jim and Andrew Price. They defeated Greg Keenan, Bay City, and Nate Kauffman, Saginaw, in the consolation bracket final match 17-21, 21-20,21-10.

First place winners Sandy DeGreif and Scott Carmona got frozen turkeys along with the trophies. DeGreif and Carmona both donated their turkeys to the Samaritan Mission.

The turkeys were donated by Ricker's Green Hut. Nancy Powers was the tournament director.

Sandy DeGreif now holds the record for the most years between wins at the annual Turkey Tournament. DeGreif last won in 1986 - 23 years ago for Sandy. Carmona last won a Turkey Title back in 1988 -- 21 years ago. (Proving once again, that old paddleball players just don't know when to quit).

Carmona won in 1988 with Randy Wackerle. DeGreif won in 1986 with Bob Estabrook.


Consolation Bracket Winners:
Jim and Andrew Price

Still Going Strong
Lefty Joe Siniff just missed being the oldest Turkey Tournament Champion (ever) at 72 when he finished 2nd to DeGreif-Carmona in 2009.
