Before we announce our Player Of The Week awards, we are proud to also announce that we played our 3,000th game during Week 5! Thank you all for your continued support of the league. That said, we have our Player Of The Week awards winners for Weeks 1-3!
Our Player Of The Week for Week 1 is Andy Cobb of Clinton Street Pub FC! Andy went three for three in his team’s 12-4 victory over GKO at Ground Kontrol. The Spring 2016 League MVP, along with Brenna Bechtold, opened the season with a win in the first round against Charles Olson and Mark Watson on Scared Stiff. Andy then notched two victories in the singles rounds, defeating Dylan Higgins on Star Wars and Lisa Perkins on AC/DC. This is Andy’s fourth Player Of The Week award, after collecting a league record three awards in the Spring 2016 season.
Our Player Of The Week for Week 2 is Nate Stellhorn of C Bar! Nate was three for three in his team’s tilt at home against Clinton Street Pub FC. Nate teamed up with Bo Carlson to defeat Jeff Hart and Zoe Winter on The Sopranos in the first round, then claimed his sole singles victory against Derek Miazga in the third round on Metallica. He helped to seal the deal for his team in the final round against Brenna Bechtold and Jeff Hart on Frontier with help from Sasha Orme. This is Nate’s first Player Of The Week award and the first given to a player from a C-Bar team in league history.
Our Player Of The Week for Week 3 is Dan McLane of Pinball Outreach Project! Dan played in three rounds in his team’s victory at Blackbird Pizza and won in all of them. His first win came in the first round with Colin Urban on Star Wars against Daniel Rone and Jo DiCarlo. Dan followed that up with two victories in the singles rounds, first against Jessica Gardner on The Shadow and then against Greg DiCarlo on Dirty Harry. This is Dan’s first Player Of The Week award and the third Player Of The Week award in POP’s history.
Congratulations to Andy, Nate, and Dan!
