     "Sweety"  was  really getting her exercise this week.  In game three "Trooper" Tom Varnell hollered for her twice before "Bad" Betty Morehouse was able to wrest her away in her game three. Along came "Lethal" Lisa Duff  in her game four and took her away for a short time before Helen "The Hellion" Daniels  grabbed her in her game four. She rested for a couple of games before Shirley "Buzz Saw" Guest took her away in her game six. She didn't rest long as "Bad" Betty Morehouse snatched her away in her game six. But "Old#1" Marty Hellberg got the final grab of the evening in his game eight to collect the winnings for the evening.

SPECIAL POOLS
                No special action took place this week. This still leaves the Raggedy Andy as the last special to be collected before reopening all of the pools again next year.

 

   28/29  POOL 

 
            "Saweet" Johnny Hensley celebrated the end of the year by scoring a 28 hand in game 6 against "Lethal" Lisa Duff after being dealt for 5's and cutting a king. That drops the pool back to only $192.00 to start the new year.
