Winning three consecutive CPCL Championship titles, with the past two years coming from a walk-off, is nothing short of special. Just ask Casey Dill @KESQ @BlakeArthur24 @PSPowerBaseball @CaseyDill22 @CoachDiMatteo
Scottie telling the whole world that none of this brings him true joy before he demolishes the rest of the field has to really sting for everyone else.
Nice feature story on a top tennis teacher, who also happens to be pretty good at pickleball, too. @KESQ @KenjiitoKESQ @Pickleball @TheKitchenPB @MajorLeaguePB @USAPickleball @Pickleball360 @PickleballUnion kesq.com/sports/local-s…
