Pool Club
The Mike Mooney Eight Ball Tournament was held on March 25 at 1:30 p.m. Mooney was president of the Pool Club for two years. His widow, Sandra Sam Mooney, donated $100 to the player who made the most bank shots in the six round tournament. The bank shot had to be called in order to count.
In her first game, Denise Scott made two bank shots, including the eight ball that won the game. After six rounds, there was a tie between John Burns and Denise Scott, who split the $100 with three bank shots each. Most players did not make one bank shot.
There were 12 three-person teams drawn randomly from “A, B” and “C” level players. The team of Jerry Wrenn, Ray Fredrichsen and Connie Terry won its first five games and missed taking first place by losing its last game. Three teams tied for second place with four wins each. They lagged the cue ball closest to the end rail to determine which teams got second and third-place winnings.
In the Monday league, In the Money had a 10-3 win over the Renegades. Kurt Bourhenne continued his winning ways by winning six and losing only one, while teammate WildFire Christensen won five, including both of her singles matches.
PJJ’s bounced back from last week to win over the Cue Crew 8-5. Brian Burke, the “C” player for PJJ won six out of seven matches.
Right On Cue edged the Rail Runners 7-6. Linda Patton led Right On Cue winning five games, including the final eight ball game that broke a 6-6 tie.
On Wednesday, Milly’s Boys beat the Favorites nine games to four. Roy Mittlestead led Milly’s Boys with seven wins; the team won the first two and the last two games.
The Ruffians extended its lead to four games over second place Triple Threat in a close seven to six match. All three players on the Ruffians won four games and the final eight ball game to break the tie.
U3, which is team No. 3, won over Bank It by a 7-6 score. Denice Scott, who earlier in the week won the banking contest, led U3 with five wins.
