First Place

Pickleball - Tuesdays (Fall '25)

It was a fantastic playoff night at Howe Park as our Intermediate division squared off for the final time this season. The energy was high, the rallies were long, and every team showed up ready to compete.

The semifinals kicked things off with the 1st-seeded Los Pickle Peloteros delivering a strong performance, securing a 3–0 sweep over Really Big Dills. Their consistency at the kitchen line and confident shot selection earned them a smooth path into the championship. On the opposite court, the 2nd-seeded Team Darby found themselves in a tougher battle against the 3rd-seeded A Pickleball Team. After trading points and fighting through momentum swings, Team Darby pulled out the 2–1 victory, showing grit and resilience that hinted they might be the ones to watch.

That proved true in the finals. Team Darby came out focused, controlling tempo early and forcing mistakes from Los Pickle Peloteros with steady serves and smart placement. Despite the top seed’s best efforts to adjust, Team Darby maintained their rhythm and closed out the match with a clean 2–0 win to secure the Intermediate Championship.

Huge congratulations to Team Darby, your Fall 2025 Intermediate Division Champions! They earned it with sharp play, teamwork, and clutch performances when it mattered most.
