Sweetshots

You will see alot of pics/comments about the "Sweetshots" - this is our Women's Pool Team (7 members) that travel to State (TX) and National (Las Vegas) 8-Ball Championship Tournaments every year. We all play in our local league here in Dallas together, but on seperate teams, but when it comes time for the State & National Tournaments we come together.
We have been trained well by our "Team Mentor", Janet Ybarra who has taught us how to hold Fundraiser Tournaments prior to the entry date and sell Raffle Tickets for various prizes (pool cues, etc.) Janet recruited Tammy and I about 4 years ago on her traveling team, and I replied back to her asking if I was needed for Comic Relief as I did not feel my game was good enough for these type of tournaments. However, the end result was that these tournaments helped me step up my game and play a much smarter game. I've learned more about the skill of the game and not necessarily the win (although I do accidentally win every now and again). After our "Hard 2 Handle" team took 4th in Nationals in 2006 Janet had too many girls wanting to join her team and travel with us, this is when Tammy and I decided to step back and form "Sweet Shots" - this way Janet wouldn't have to worry about us and having to keep alot of women happy with playing everyone (hard task).
We refer to Hard 2 Handle as our Sister Team from the "OC" - which is a South Dallas area called Oak Cliff - we still are tight with these gals and see them often, especially at these tournaments and eachother's fundraiser events.
One of my good friends, Hratch owns his own Limo Company now "Rock-Star Limos" and each year he has been so kind as to donate 2 hrs of free service (Lincoln Limo & '07 Hummer Stretch) to help with our Raffle sales and to raise money. This year, out of recognition to him and his generousity, we presented him with a Plaque Thanking Him for all of his kindness!
We just finished our Fundraiser for Vegas '08 and will send entry in this week - we leave this year for Vegas the week of June 8-14 and hope to come back with some $$$ (and from pool too) ;o)
