New Carpet Ball Champion

We have yet to announce the completion of our 2011 Bayside youth group carpet ball tournament. Although the tournament didn't finish until 2012 - we have a new champion:

Nathan Tunell is Bayside youth group's 2011 Carpet Ball Champion. Nathan continues a line of champions from the Tunell family. In fact, this is the 5th straight year we have had a Tunell win the championship. Nathan is pictured here with his brother, Erick, who was the 2010 champion. Another interesting fact is the last 4 champions have come from the same household! And if you include last year's Bayside Bowl MVP from that household - that's a lot of hardware!

Nathan easily defeated Cody Casper in a two-week championship match by a score of 5-1. It was his fifth straight victory in the tournament - the most ever in the history of our prestigious carpet ball tournament. His closest match came in an exciting 5-4 victory during the quarterfinals against Michael Johnson.

Congrats Nathan! You're the champion! Get ready to defend the title because in a few months the winter will subside and we will start up the 2012 tournament!
