Text Box: Merry Minstrels Win Text Box: Jamie’s Tournament Notes Text Box: Claude Thomas rolled a 120 to win the dog of the week award, for low game of the tournament. Perfecto’s were rolled by Cliff Park and DeWayne (Captain Cadillac) Thompson. John Precourt won all of his matches. Captain Cadillac averaged Text Box: 239, he must be getting good coaching. My red rabbit’s foot almost worked again. Jim King appeared looking much fitter. John Woessner and Marshall Medlin purchased their outfits they wore Saturday at Pimps R US. Text Box: Marshall was on the winning team for the third time and two years in a row. Is Marshall so good or does he inspire his team mates cause they know he is such a load? Zap made me do it!!
