Rec Play: Anna Leigh Waters & Jay Gordon vs Neil Eichelberger & Leigh Waters

 

April 2019
Anna Leigh Waters & Jay Gordon vs Leigh Waters/Neil Eichelberger 

In September 2017, during Hurricane Irma, Anna Leigh and her mother, Leigh, went to her grandparents in Allentown, Pennsylvania, while her father remained in Florida to stay with their dog, Maggie, and attend to his construction materials business. Anna Leigh's grand father, Neil Eichelberger, introduced them to the sport of pickleball.  Anna Leigh won her first gold medal with 29-year old Stacie Townsend in her first tournament in November at the Delray Beach Gamma Pickleball Classic. 



Jay Gordon talked about the Waters in this segment of the "Pickleball Is Life" interview at the Delray Beach Tennis Club.

NOTE: Jay passed away on Friday, May 8, 2020, just a few weeks after undergoing cancer surgery.
