Sugar River Euchre

Even with the 115 points accumulated by Kurt Beutel and Jack Gehin, the J&M Bar River-Rats couldn’t overcome this week’s low score of just 80 points scraped together by Tracy Beutel and Jim Gehin. Nor was Ernie Sarbacker and Al Legler’s 83 points sufficient to gnaw away at Steve Thoni and Don Cleary’s (Hooterville-Express) 112 points. The Express takes this one by 29.
