Sugar River Euchre

With the first half of the season quickly coming to a close, two players had plenty to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Rick Skindrud and Jeff Goebler (Kleeman’s) became the only players thus far to record a perfect score. I was led to believe this was quite a shock to the rest of the team, given Rick’s struggles the past few weeks. With Rick and Jeff’s help and the 16-point loss by the Norsk-Cowboys to Jones’ Plumbing, Kleeman’s Hay-Shakers retook sole position of first place when they handed New Glarus a 30-point shaking.
