Ms. Sweety
must have been under the weather….she moved only one time and that was during
Game 3 when she paid Wayne “Super Trooper” Von Clasen a visit and helped
him skunk Helen “The Hellion” Daniels.
Wayne must have pulled out a pair of hand cuffs from his pre-retirement
days and made sure she didn’t stray to someone else, he held onto her for the
entire night! Wayne received $10 at the
end of the night for his skill cards!
EVENT HAPPENINGS
First
was Jim “Teacher” Duff who turned in a 15 Gm Pt, 7 W, +40
Sprd Pts card tonight. Jim got off
to a quick start by winning the first game by 3 points over “Easy” Ed
Baustian. He followed that up with
a win but then was skunked in Game 3 by Shirley “Buzz Saw” Guest. Jim turned things around with a narrow victory
in Game 4 then a skunk over David “Da Boz” Bosley in Game 5. Sitting at 9 points after 5 games, Jim
started to feel confident….but the cribbage gods delivered a humble blow when
he was skunked in Game 6 by “Trooper” Tom Varnell. Bouncing back, Jim won 3 straight to end the
night and secure 1st Place.
Good job Jim!
Second was John “Rotten”
Reed who turned in a 13 Gm Pt, 6 W, +41 Sprd Pts card. This is John’s
second straight 2nd Place which vaulted John in to 2nd Place
in the points standing…..OK enough with the 2nds…. John won his first game of the night but couldn’t put together a
win streak because he was almost skunked by Jim “Teacher” Duff in Game
2. John edged out “Bad” Betty
Morehouse by 1 point in Game 3 and went on to win 4 straight. Martin “Ole #1” Hellberg ended John’s
win streak in Game 7. He got things
back on track by winning Game 8 but followed that up with a last game
loss. None the less, 13 points was
enough for 2nd and helped John slide into 2nd Place
overall. Good job John!
Third was “Trooper”
Tom Varnell who turned in a 11 Gm Pt, 5 W, +18 Sprd Pts card. Tom got off to a hot start by winning two
straight but then faultered for the next two games and recorded 2 losses. He put together a respectable 3 game win
streak with a skunk over Jim “Teacher” Duff in Game 6. Tom tried finish strong but the cards were
stacked against him and he lost the last 2 games of the night. Good job Tom!
Fourth was John “Saweet” Hensley who turned in a 11 Gm Pt, 5 W, 9 Sprd Pts
card. John started off with a couple of
wins including a skunk over Helen “The Hellion” Daniels in Game 2. Unfortunately, David “Da Boz” Bosley skunked
John in Game 3 to end John’s win streak.
John put together two straight wins including a near skunk over “Trooper”
Tom Varnell in Game 4. John fell on
hard times in Games 6, 7, & 8 and couldn’t record a win. He did finish strong and won the last game
of the night. Good job John!
