The Bay Area Family Y in Bay City hosted the 32nd Herb Bean-Fred Smith Memorial Paddleball Tournament on February 7th.

Twenty teams from around the state found good food and competition on Saturday. The sponsors were: Barney's Bar & Grill, Bell Bar, and the Green Hut -- The food spread supplied by the sponsors didn't disappoint the 40 players.

In the Open Division finals, Brandon Creamer, East Lansing, and Ron Malecki from Midland defeated Bay City's Randy Wackerle and Paul Chritz 21-10 in a third game tie-breaker.
