20th Avalon Park Pickleball Tournament
The 1st boxer to earn more than $100 million in total prize money, Sugar Ray Leonard, loves to play pickleball and was spotted at a recent California pro pickleball tournament. Here in Avalon Park, the 18th edition of the longest running $1.00 registration monthly Pickleball and Pizza tournament in Florida was won by Avalon Park residents Ryan Hamley and Leslie Radcliffe. This was the 3rd win for Ryan, who has been playing about 9 months, and the 1st win for Leslie, who has been playing about 3 months. Six teams competed, including a 4-person team consisting of our pickleball friends from Stoneybrook-Shawna Sherry, Vicky Dangelo, Vickie Singleton and their friend Karin Hammond.
