Subject:        Vestavia Hills Results

I have to say that this tournament was one of the most well run 
tournaments that I have ever been to.  It was on time, the judging was 
phenomenal, and the competition was very good. I have to really commend 
Ms. Dukes, all of the "Vestavites"(esp. Allison Pickett and Ben Davidson 
with ld), and everyone else involved with the tournament for an 
excellent job. (I very rarely would say anything of this magnitude, but 
I was sincerely very impressed.)

Without further adieu, the results:

(It took a 3-2 with very high speaks to break to octas)

Octafinals:

Mt. Brook-Allyn Hudson d. Hoover-Davidson
Homewood-Eleanna Smith d. Decatur-Shah
BGA-Michael Ide d. Cherry Creek-Kolhatker
Isidore Newman-Michael Osofsky d. Woodson-Brown
Decatur-Dalelia Davis d. Homewood-Mi Wu
BGA-Elfie Salihu d. W.T. Woodson-Karalyn Meany 
Jesuit-Jon Geggenheimer coaches over Jesuit-Don Tantiplaphol
St. James-Anna Manasco coaches over St. James-Bivins

Quarters (TOC Bids to all from here out and to the two who were coached 
over in octas):

Manasco d. Hudson
Osofsky d. Geggenheimer
Smith d. Davis
Ide coaches over Salihu

Semis:

Manasco d. Osofsky
Smith d. Ide

And on a 2-1 decision in the final round, with Anna Manasco affirming 
and Eleanna Smith negating, and with the stellar judge panel of 3 
National Champions (Jason Baldwin, Hetal Doshi, and Anoop Mishra), the 
Champion of the 1998 Vestavia Hills Over the Mountain Tournament is 
Eleanna Smith of Homewood.  Congrats to all.
