Stab-N-Grab2 #39
Jin Choe
| October 31st Stabbers Andrew Dittrich Aubrey Mayer Frank Van Dyke Jin Choe Joe Deucher Ken Colgate Michele Tayengco Scott Carlson Stefany Mendoza Victor Munoz Total Fencers 10There was a light turnout on Halloween after an evening of fencing theday before. The Halloween Rumble was great fun but apparently wore everyone out or they were getting ready to go trick or treating to collect all that candy. So it was only the really serious fencers, or in Frank's case with only ten people he was plotting his fifth victory and Stab-N-Grab championship. However, the fencing gods were not in alignment with Frank's plans, but more about that below.
Magic Pants Dettrick started the day against Joe. It was a battle of giants, or at least the two tallest members in the club. On this occassion Joe's experience and reach was too much for Andrew (5-1). Victor and Michele were next. It was fairly amusing to watch the two foil fencers fencing epee. It seemed like a lot of unnecessary parrying and reaching for the body. victory took the win (5-1). Round two began with Frank and Joe. It seems that Frank figured out Joe's strategy and defeated Joe (5-4). Ken and Stefany followed and Stefany toppled Ken (5-3). Scott and Aubrey followed with Scott having to work to get his first victory (5-4). Jin and Victor followed with the epee fencer Jin defeating the foil fencer victor (5-4). Round three began with Frank and Stefany. Frank was pretty excited about the match-up as he was confident he could beat Stefany. Stefany tried her best but Frank did manage to take the win (5-4). Scott had to fence Jin and since Jin is moving better these days it was an even match. In the end there can be only one and Jin was the one on Halloween and took the victory (5-3). The final was Jin and Frank. Frank was hopeful for his fifth victory but Jin was having none of it and took Frank down (5-3). At first it was a little confusing reading the score sheet because someone had crossed off Jin's name and written Frank's but in the end the true winner was recognized and Stab-N-Grab series number two continues for another week and everyone strives to keep Filip and Frank from winning. The next Red Rock tournament is the Turkey Trot
Starts at 7pm and goes to 9'ish |
