Noteworthy events from 2021 Spring Week 09

Outstanding outing(s):

  1. Kevin C and Jerry R each had perfect 80s.
    • In Kevin’s case, it was his only one this season and sealed his Top Shooter qualification.
    • In Jerry’s case, it was his 2nd consecutive perfect score.
  2. Brian C shot a 77.
  3. Each of Brian C’s Cue Quest teammates (Dennis C, Mark D, and Mike McG) shot a 76 as did Mona T.

RAFFLE Status:

  1. Jerry R supplemented his league play’s perfect 80 with a solid Table 08 break that resulted in cashing out 3/9ths of the available pot.  His break was strong and left a nearly-hanging 2-ball in the southeast corner.  After sinking it, the cue ball nuzzled up frozen on the 3-ball and almost directly pointed toward the northwest corner pocket.  After sinking it smoothly, the 4-ball had too much interference and so Jerry cashed out.
  2. Frank C allowed Table 08 to forget about what Jerry R had done and then magically racked on it for the 2nd raffle opportunity.  The magic disappeared with a dry break.
  3. The remaining raffle pot rolls over to Week 10 (party week)!!

OTHER:

  1. The first couple hours of league play were accented with the sound and presence of Will Rock radio who hosted a Milwaukee Summerfest drawing.  At least one of our league members and our spirited front-counter attendant ended up as beneficiaries!!  Congrats to Ryan and Sarah.
  2. Recently active league member Kevin G dropped in for some practice on Table 16.
  3. The inherent drama of the final week’s competition begot a sharp focus on the final game on Table 06 between Peace and Quiet and Diamond Cutters.  A win by the P&Q player would guarantee their league championship, whereas a loss would guarantee 2nd place.  The result is obvious in the league standings, but the long standing memory will be that a subset of the Wolff Pack behaved more like a Shiver of Sharks.
