Later that day, Clinton “Chief” Badback and Dusty Lofley topped the doubles tournament. Kenny Blake and Cory Leavitt finished in second in the tournament followed by Frank and Brandon Sanderson.

“Fifteen teams participated with quite a few new faces this year,” event organizer Rochelle Badback explained about the doubles tournament. “Badback and Lofley are reigning champs and were able to hang onto their title for another year. Leavitt also placed as number two last year.”
