Slapfest 2007 - 9th Annual World Slappyball Championship!!!
Congratulations to John and Brad!!! (photo) 2007 Slappyball World Champions!!!
Early in the summer, John Gilles broke his foot during an exhibition Slappyball game. At the time, it appeared that his 2007 season was lost to injury. But after much rest and rehab, he persevered... partnering with two-time defending champion Brad Bannwart to capture the Slapfest 2007 title! John's exceptional goalkeeping, combined with strategic defense and patient, efficient offense, allowed him and Brad to defeat Wes and Eric in the finals to become Slappyball World Champions! After losing in the first round, Wes and Eric won four straight games to advance to the championship game, securing their best ever Slapfest finish.
Slapfest 2007 marked the first time this prestigious Slappyball tournament was held in November. The cool, brisk November weather provided wonderful playing conditions and ideal temperatures for the fans. Following the tournament, Shaun and Kristie hosted a rockin' "Slappy-Boo" Halloween costume party at the Forest Hills Hideaway! Fans and players gathered to celebrate another great Slapfest and the 15 year anniversary of Slappyball.
