March 2017

With the taste of spring leaving us for more seasonal temperatures, Monte’s woes continued as Shenanigans pulled out a 6-point victory over the Mounties. The win by the Pranksters keeps their hopes alive for one more week. Kleeman’s, another first place contender, posted the second best team score thus far this season and had little trouble keeping the J&M Bar River-Rats at bay. Two Hay-Shakers couples recorded a score of 107 points, while the other two couples scored 108 points each, resulting in a team total of 430 points. That was 72 points more than the Rats could chew.

The New Glarus Knights played Poynette on February 20th. After being down by 1 point at the half, the Knights fought back in the second and won the game. The final score was New Glarus 71, Poynette 64.
Leading the team in scoring was Jaden Kreklow, who poured in 31 points. Cullen Brooks and Zach Feller each scored 13 points.
On February 23rd, the Knights played at Lake Mills. The Knights were down by 11 at the half, and couldn’t catch back up during the second. Lake Mills won the game, 87-71.
