Scott Kahler and Filip Rams Reign In Indy

February 22-24, 2019
Indianapolis, IN
By Steve Webster

Once again, Indianapolis attracted an outstanding group of talented teams from ten states to compete in our 45th paddle tournament. Under the constant threat of rain we pulled off a totally dry tourney. Hats off to Scott Kahler and Filip Rams for prevailing in closely contested three set Open final against our local team of Brian Hagman and Tom Murphy. Ryan Baxter and Ed Burns won the 90+ title over the father/son team of Will and George Higgins.

Special kudos to Ludo Aaron for all his hard work and staying sober(we think) during his matches. See you all next year!
