Tournament play--can mini "D" be stopped?

Our mini "D" which as you know stands for dominator has been racking up the tournament hardware lately. He is going for three wins in a row this weekend. Check out his story.

Last weekend, November 10th-11th, I played in Lexington, Ohio. I like to go to the Lexington Turkey Tourney because I like their courts, the director is nice, they have doubles play and a ping pong table.

Playing in competititions is fun because I get to play alot of matches and see my friends. I turned 12 in August so I will be playing in the Boys 12's division for another year and also some 14's matches.

In May, I broke my wrist and couldn't use my left arm to play all summer. It still hurts but I am starting to play tournaments again. Actually, I won my last two and I also won in the doubles division in Lexington so I brought home two trophies!

When I win trophies, I get to bring them to practice the next day to show everyone and also to school because my principal and teachers think they're great. In Lexington this time, I played a really tough match for the finals. I had to focus and play good to win.

I won the first set in a tie break then won the second set 6-1. I am going to practice hard this week to get ready for Towpath's Thanksgiving Tournament. I am the number 3 seed.

Ryan is getting his game back. He has moved up to the 14's and is beginning to turn some heads.

Look out for Ryan....Mini D.
