Both teams are having their worst seasons in awhile. I've heard/seen a lot about it's because of their new conference. After watching both teams, that is not the case. Lebanon and Camdenton are both down compared to recent years. Are they in harder conferences? Yes. However if both teams were as good as they have been recently, Lebanon wouldn't be 1-4 and Camdenton wouldn't be 3-2

🖕. Going to 4-1 over 3-0 UCF.

Probably the toughest week we’ve had of pics so far. I won the weekly, but still only picked 2/3 right. Definitely a lot of surprises this week.

Tad is holding down first place but MoSooner is right on his heels.

Gonna be another tough one this week!

Hey everyone,

I hope you're all doing well. I've been really getting into pickleball lately,
and I've started to wonder about the path to becoming a professional player in the sport.
I've been playing recreationally
for a while now and have improved quite a bit.
However, I'm not sure about the steps I need to take to transition from playing for fun to potentially playing professionally.
Are there any professional pickleball players here who could share their journey or offer some advice?
What kind of training, tournaments, and dedication did it take to reach the professional level?

Oak Park looked a lot better than I expected. As solid as they've been the last two years. Using Ross both ways. Kid is very fast. Good passing game. Pankey ran really well, hard to tackle. Might've got hurt late. Defense did a great job.

Fort had no offense and the defense was gassed by middle of third. Big 12 bound running back Peppers still out, Thompson having to play both ways. Their big TE who has made an impact on the line and passing game was missing and it showed with how often OP got into back field. One of starting receivers was missing as well. Injury bug has definitely hit Fort this year.
