Sugar River Euchre

The Pranksters got their second win in as many weeks with little help from Chris Hook and Rodney Latham, who had this week’s low score of just 69 points. The poor showing by Chris and Rodney apparently energized the rest of the team as Laurel Grindle and Jerry Retrum tallied 115 points, while Tom Schulenberg and Larry Losenegger added another 114 points to the team’s total of 400 points. Whereas, the Hay Shakers couldn’t make hay (too wet maybe) with none of the Kleeman players breaking the 100-point barrier, to finish with just 360 team points.
