Team cinches Pool League win

What had appeared to be a runaway by 4-20, who led the Fall Pool League from week one, turned out to be very close at the end. As luck would have it, 4-20 met second-place team the Fantastics on the last week of play. With an 11-game lead, 4-20 only needed to win two games in the 13-game match to clinch the championship. However, after the six eightball contests, the Fantastics had only won one game, shrinking their lead to seven games. Glen Everson won his nine-ball singles match to give 4-20 the Fall Pool League Championship. Ruffy Ramos won all seven of his games for the Fantastics.

The Favorites won their match over Pot Luck by 10-3 and finished in third place. Bill Clawson and Dave Silva each won five games for the Favorites. Pot Luck finished in fourth.

Break ’em and Make ’em edged Go for Broke 7-6, and Ace in the Hole won over Hot Sticks 7-6.

The league thanks Steve Edrich, Eunis “WildFire!” Christensen, Connie Adkins and Barry Chittem for all their help and support in making the Pool League a success.

The teams will meet again on Jan. 10 at 6 p.m. for the league sweepstakes. Each team will play every other team one game of eight ball and one game of nine ball. All three players per team will compete in every game. The top four teams will receive cash awards, and all teams will be paid point money based on how many games they won in the regular season.

There will also be a sign-up sheet present for those who want to play in the next league season, which begins Feb. 7. Players will meet at 6 p.m. to form new teams.
