The Bad Boys

The Bad Boys have been together in various forms since 1999. We are a fairly successful pool team playing in Austin's APA Pool League.

Aaron's best side (according to Theresa)

Aaron puts the finishing touches on a practice game.

We usually have the same waitress when we play at Slick Willy's. Stacey takes good care of us.

Marty is the strongest player on the Bad Boys. He is ranked a 7 on the APA scale. This picture captures him as he earns a patch for a "Break and Run".

Paul is currently ranked a 6 on the APA scale.

Lisa is the captain of the Bad Boys.

The "Bad Boys" pool team of Winter 99. We were a wild-card entry into the playoffs for our division but ended up taking first place. Note that a division is like a neighborhood and contains about six teams.

From left to right, Marty, Paul, Glen, Theresa, Lisa, Aaron.

Brian is Lisa's boyfriend and is doing good this season.

Sean is the most recent addition to the Bad Boys.

A Break & Run patch. This is the reward for "running the table" without any misses. Marty and Paul are the only ones on the team to get one of these .... so far.

Theresa focuses on one of her long shots. Theresa is improving lots but is currently ranked a "2". This is frequently a good thing for us because one of the rules in the APA league is that you can't have all ringers. The sum of the handicaps of the five players that play on one night must be 23 or less.

Vicki the sugar glider makes a showing from Aaron's shirt. The bar isn't excited about them being there so we try to keep them pretty inconspicuous.

The Bad Boys take first place in the Tuesday Night 8-ball league, Slick Willies Division (#204). It took us a long time, but we won the requisite three matches with only one match lost.

Harte Hanks Sharks took second place in the Tuesday Night 8-ball league, Slick Willies Division (#204). They were good sports about it too.

We had a little party to celebrate taking first place in our division. Lisa and Brian reportedly spent about four hours making this cool cake for us. It came out pretty good but nobody was willing to cut it.
