There were a few high scores on January 19th, with a couple of skunks thrown in for the aroma. In the match between the Red Mouse Shufflers and the Viking Bar & Grill Trolls, Shufflers Loretta and Dave Herfel lost only their sixth game to Jolene Hook and Kevin Ollendick to earn a share of this week’s high score of 118 points. Also scoring big for the Shufflers was Tom Meyer and Randy Skogen, with 112 points. Unfortunately the night was not so kind to Trolls Bruce Frisch and Keith Vobraska, who were skunked in the fourth frame by Steve Vogt and Ed Chancellor.
