Flowers and Danny Huffines outlasted Dennis Hogue and Russell Butts.
Jones and Jordan defeated Linda Dollar and Donna Jenkins 6-2, 6-3 for the Women’s 3.0 title.
&uot;I think it helps winning both in that I was able to keep playing,&uot;&160;Flowers said. &uot;And I was able to relax after winning the first one. I enjoy the mixed doubles more because everybody isn’t trying to kill it.&uot;
Jones said playing mixed doubles helps her overall game.
&uot;It’s really helped my game in the women’s league,&uot; she said.
