Wayne Wins with Ease at Eastbay 7428 Shoot-Out!
Second Straight Upset Victory Sends the Attorney to the Semi’s
90045 - Wayne Boehle and his charity partner My Stuff Bags pulled off their second straight upset victory to advance to the “Final Four” of the Eastbay 7428 Shoot-Out. Wayne, a standout athlete at Loyola University in the 60’s and the lead attorney for the school in the 90’s for the Hank Gathers Case, led from start to finish to eliminate Lynn Guerin, founder of the John R. Wooden Course, who’s charity was Joni and Friends Disability Ministry.
The Eastbay 7428 Shoot-Out matches up Sports Stories with Denny Lennon (SSDL) video podcast guests pre-interview basketball shots against one another in a 12-team single elimination tournament. The championship team (guest and charity) of the event, which will conclude on August 7th, will receive a $1000 Eastbay gift card for the charity.
Behind the scenes content, including post matchup interviews and promotional video are available for free at www.patreon.com/DennyLennon. The Patreon link is also available at www.SportsStoriesPodcast.com.
The next quarterfinal, which runs from 12pm (PT) July 27th to 12pm (PT) July 29th, matches the #3 seed, Hall of Fame Ring Announcer Jimmy Lennon, Jr. (charity: Union Rescue Mission) vs. #11 seed Rock Pillsbury (charity: Harold and Carole Pump Foundation), the Athletic Director of the top high school sports program in the country, Sierra Canyon School (Chatsworth). Jimmy Jr. may need to muster support not only from his charity but from his world-wide boxing fans to advance. Rock was highly impressive in the opening round, rallying his community to beat back the power of the military and the worldwide leader in sports to chalk up the win. Mike McKay, founder of The Heroes’ Movement, was promoted by popular ESPN anchor Neil Everett on his national radio show, but still came up short against the rock solid Rock.
The remaining quarterfinal, semifinals and final matchups will continue on twitter @SportsStoriesDL, one vote per matchup per supporter. Links to the SSDL video podcast interviews of each of the quarterfinalists have been included below, which will further educate our twitter followers and Eastbay 7428 Shoot-Out legion of fans.
