Sugar River Euchre

The Norsk Cowboys finished the first half of the season with their guns blazing in their 60-point massacre of the Mounties, forcing the Mounties to take refuge back across the border into Canada until January. In another match resulting in a significant disparity, 53 points to be exact, Harley Blue Express lowered the cattle catcher in the second round to blow the Kleeman’s Hay Shakers right off the tracks. Tracy Haag and John Scheidegger scooped up 115 points for the Express, this week’s high score.
The Norsk Pranksters also saw fit to win by a large margin in their 47-point victory over the Jones’ Plumbing Pipe Benders. Rodney Latham and Tom Schulenberg put 113 points in the hat for the Pranksters while Jerome Krantz and Ryan Arneson soldered 114 joints for the Pipe Benders.
At the other end of the spectrum, the S’Wisco Cheese Eaters defeated the Riley Shufflers by just 1 point. Even with Cheese Eaters Brett Hoesly and Jeff Buesser grabbing just 77 points for the Cheese Eaters, the team took an early lead and was able to secure the cheese.
