I occasionally game with both Jeff and Atticus and they are both on a different level. I expect to hear nothing but great news with the upcoming tourney 
On behalf of Atticus, thanks for the support, we've been getting lots of emails wishing him well.
Here is a version with different photos.

Jeff
Quoted from chadderack:The article says he'll be the youngest competitor. Is Escher Lefkoff not competing? I know Escher's in the PinGolf tourney at Lyons.
Looks like Escher didn't play in a state championship.

I think he was referring to the age of the 32 competitors at the Nationals only.
Quoted from fumbleflippers:Nice article, but what's up with them saying Funhouse has goblins?
LOL.
(FH is sitting next to CV in one of the banks, so maybe there is some of the mixup).
Nonetheless, I thought the article was well done.

Probably just ignorant editors or writers mixing games up into one. still not sure where the Goblins came from,unless he mistook the Trolls from MM as them,lol
Congrats to Atticus! It is great to see all the younger players who are charging up the ranks of the IFPA. I read the article and I do have a correction to make. Atticus will not be the youngest player(but very close). Tim Street is 14 yrs. old and will be representing Alabama at Lyons. He was the runner up to yours truly at the Alabama State Championship and I chose not to make the trip. Guess what? His dad's name is Jeff, too! You guys should hang out together at the Nationals!

In fairness, we did not know you were not attending, and that Tim Street would be the representative for your state. Based on what we knew about the individual state winners at the time we were asked about the ages of the contestants at the Nationals, I think it was correct to state Atticus is the youngest of the state champions.
In any case, it is awesome to have several teenagers in the mix and it will be nice to meet the Street family.
Sorry you could not attend, it would have been nice to meet you as well.
Jeff, I hope to meet you guys at a tournament down the road. I hope the two "pinball kids" can take down some of the Big Dogs this weekend!
