Senior games result in big win for Myrtle Point resident

The Coquille Valley Table Tennis team traveled to Corvallis, for the annual Oregon Senior Games and won big.

“It is always a lot of fun, and it’s a really big event,” stated Ellen King. “We really want to see more come out and play with us.”

Ellen King has every right to be excited as she took 1st place in the woman’s singles 60-64 category of table tennis. She also took 2nd in the doubles in the 50+ category.

The senior games are held each year drawing in participation from all over the state in a multitude of categories. Athletes participate in track and field, basketball, swimming all the way to archery and bowling. The table tennis team from Coquille really wants to expand their membership so other residents of the area can enjoy the fun.

The Coquille Valley Table Tennis meets at Coquille community recreation center Monday and Friday mornings 10 am to noon and in Coos Bay at Southwestern Oregon Community College Tuesday and Thursday at 10am to noon.

Ellen tells residents to “Dust off your paddle and come join us!”
