Week 4 LBBC Fall Pickleball League Recap
🎾 Overview
Week 4 brought big energy and even bigger rallies! With 33 total games played across five heated rounds, players came ready to battle, laugh, and sometimes argue (lovingly) about whether that ball really clipped the line. We saw teamwork, tricky spins, and a few “I swear I didn’t mean to do that, but I’ll take it” winners. The season’s rhythm is hitting its stride, and every Saturday is feeling more like a mini-festival of pickleball awesomeness.
🏅 Top Performers – Week 4
1️⃣ Don Deaube (5–0, +17) — flawless form, flawless record. A masterclass in control and composure.
2️⃣ Richard Trogman (4–0, +30) — undefeated and laser-focused. His net play could teach a clinic.
3️⃣ Quang Ton (4–1, +24) — calm, calculated, and consistent — proving that quiet confidence wins points.
4️⃣ Natalie Tonthat (4–1, +21) — fast feet, smarter shots, and one of her best weeks yet.
5️⃣ Michael Huynh (4–1, +5) — patient, strategic, and always smiling — even when grinding out long rallies.
🎤 Player of the Week – Don Deaube
Stat Pick: Don continues his reign of dominance — undefeated at 5–0 this week, totaling 76 points for and just 59 against. That’s consistency with style.
LBBC Personality Pick: Don is not just winning — he’s vibing. Always supportive, always smiling, and somehow making everyone else better just by sharing the court. The definition of LBBC energy: competitive, kind, and quietly lethal. 🎯
💥 Game of the Week
Quang & Natalie vs. Richard & Michael – This one was pure entertainment: long rallies, sharp reflexes, and more “oohs” and “ahhs” than a fireworks show. It finished 11-9 with both teams grinning and drenched — the best kind of battle.
😬 Tough Week for Some
A few players hit rough patches this round — the dreaded “close but no cigar” games. But that’s league life: one week you’re on fire, the next week the net eats your serve. Props to everyone who kept the spirits high (and the post-game laughter even higher).

At the top of the mountain, Don Deaube continues to reign supreme — a near-perfect win percentage and a commanding lead in points. His consistency sets the gold standard for what league play looks like when skill meets strategy.
Not far behind, David Lascano is making his move. His blend of patience and precision keeps him dangerous every round, and if Don even blinks, David is ready to pounce.
And rounding out the top three, Brian Andrews proves that steady play and mental toughness can hang with anyone. His ability to grind out wins — even when momentum shifts — keeps him firmly in the contender zone.
