Congratulations! to Ed King of Graham, TX as the 2012
Texas State Champion. Ed has won the Texas Championship ever year since
Professor H. L. Cravens, Jr. of Brownwood died in 1994, excluding the three years which
Rupert Boeselt won it in 2004 & 2005, and no TX Tourney in 2006. Ed is also
the new 2012 District 8 Champion.
-
Congratulations! to Eric Strange and Albert Tucker as 2nd and
3rd Place Runner-ups.
-
Congratulations! to Mike Molamphy of Baytown, TX as his first
ACF Tournament.
-
A little checker history... Rupert Boeselt, a cotton farmer from Westphalia, became the Texas State
Checker Champion when he beat nine-time winner Dr. H. L. Cravens of Brownwood
in a two-hour match at the
Texas State Tournament in Forth Worth on March 6-8, 1965. Dr. Cravens
conceded with eight checkers still on the board! Boeselt of Lott, TX won
again in 1987, followed by HL Cravens, Ed King, Earl Sweatmon, Earl Harvell,
and Paul Fondren & Doyle Brownlee tied. Back then Texas State was a
closed Tourney.
-
Our condolences go out the two Texas players that were lost
since our last tournament. They will be greatly missed! Earl Harvell died
5/30/2011 and Earle Sweatmon died 2/5/2012.
-
Faye Mounger welcomed all players in the pre-tournament
meeting. We voted on repairing only in the last round. Next year's TX/D8
dates were set for June 7 & 8th, 2013.
