Danny Seemiller Achieves Championship Title; Joey Cochran Repeats Success

WILSON, N.C. - Dec. 1, 2014 - PRLog -- By Barbara Wei

Team “SBTTC” duly secured top prize at the 2014 Butterfly Thanksgiving Teams tournament, dropping only 4 matches in total throughout the weekend. Although it may have seemed like an easy victory for tournament director/coach Danny Seemiller Sr., his son Danny Seemiller Jr., and his student Joey Cochran, it was indeed a hard fought victory. In the final match-up between Team “SBTTC” and Team “Lindenwood”, “SBTTC” led 4 matches to 3 with Joey Cochran (SBTTC) vs. Felipe Morita (Lindenwood) on the table. Joey pulled out the match 3-0, but it was not an easy task. Felipe continued to pressure Joey with fierce attacks that often forced both players into off the table exchanges.

It was an exciting win for Joey, as he secured his second championship title at this year’s Butterfly sponsored tournaments (Joey upset both Mark Hazinski, and coach Danny Seemiller at the 2014 Butterfly St. Louis Open to win the Elite Singles event in May of this year). For tournament director/coach Danny Seemiller Sr., it was also a very sweet victory as he had finished in the runner-up position at both the 2014 St. Louis Open (“Elite Singles” Event) and the 2014 Badger Open (“Open” Event). After two second place finishes, Danny was eager to take home a championship title and at the 2014 Butterfly Thanksgiving Teams event he finally achieved his goal.
