Sugar River Euchre

Jones’ Plumbing discovered early on that it was not going to be easy to remain in first place in their battle against the Norsk Cowboys. The match was tied at 396, with all the scores recorded in the eighth round except the game between Greg Stutz/Chris Booth (Pipe-Benders) and Ferdie Schmitz/Tracy Thronson (Cowboys). After several hours of euchre, it all boiled down to who could win the last game. It was Greg and Chris who pulled out a 15 to 12 victory, giving the Pipe-Benders the win and a first place slot in the standings.
