Losing only two games all night, both at the hands of Paul Thronson and Mary Humphrey, Tom Nicewander and Tracy Thronson loaded 117 rounds into the Cowboys’ bandolier for this week’s high score. Not to be left with an empty six-shooter, Cowboys’ Ferdie Schmitz and Travis Nicewander also won six of their eight games. Travis and Ferdie, along with the other two Cowboy couples, each loaded 105 rounds to the bandolier to out load the It’s Time Mounties by 65 rounds.

Ed Chancellor and Randy Skogen (5th Quarter) recorded 114 points, outscoring their opponents by 42 points, to shuffle in a 53-point victory over the S’wisco Taphaus Cheese Eaters. Both losses by Ed and Randy were sliced by George Eichelkraut and Ed Wettach. Kendal Wenger and Giff Hoesly (Cheese Eaters) ended the night with a 75, this week’s low score.

With their first half playoff match yet to be played (scheduled for February 6th), the Hooterville Express continued to roll full steam ahead, pulling into the railyard with a 15-point advantage over the Kleeman Hay Shakers. Eric Blabaum and Tracy Haag put up 110 points for the Express, while the Screaming Eagles, the other half of the February 6th playoff match, became the prey of the J&M Bar River Rats who outscored Eagles Heights by 18 points. For the second straight week Ernie Sarbacker has scored over 110 points for the River Rats when he and Tracy Beutel ruffled 111 Eagle feathers. Terry Zahler and Duke Miller did everything they could to keep the Screaming Eagles in this match, losing only two games and snatching 109 points for the Eagles.

The Norsk Pranksters created a few leaks in the Pipe Bender’s plumbing with all four Prankster couples scoring 100 or more points. Leading the Pranksters were Chad Kitsemble and Rodney Latham with 113 points, followed by Larry Losenegger and Jerry Retrum’s 112 points. Whereas, Jones’ Plumbing could only solder one 100-point game. Pranksters won this one by 69 points.
