SOUTH NEW BERLIN – Several weeks into the South New Berlin Horseshoe league, the teams aren’t only battling with each other. The 19 teams in the 2019 season have been duking it out with mother nature, causing many make up dates as the Wednesday night league as been cancelled or postponed.

The weather, however, hasn’t stopped the league from going as many teams are finding the time to make up their matches. Currently holding strong at the top of the standings board is team Reese-Marshall with a record of 21-7. Team members Tresta Smith and Kate Lloyd jumped to the top of the leaderboard after the June 12 matches and have held the first place spot since as the following week was postponed.

Behind the Reese-Marshall duo in second is Chris Eastman and Floyd Wagner of team P&E. While Eastman and Wagner have racked up the high point total of the season thus far with 4,105 points, they hold a record of 19.5-8.5 to sit a game and half back behind Smith and Lloyd.

In third is the Taylor’s Country House team of Brad Shaver and Jess Sherwood, trailing team P&E by a half of a game. Northern Eagle (Chris Davis and Mike Aylesworth) are in fourth place for the current standings with a record of 17-11 while Mike Grant and Tim Lidell of Baille Lumber round out the top five with their record of 17-7.

Following the June 12 matches, Lee Coon of Kelly’s Flowers – who is sitting just outside the top five at sixth – captured the single high game and high series scores. Coon tossed a game high 90 while finishing with a series score of 239. His partner Ed Kohler threw the second best in both categories as well, finishing with a single game score of 84 and a high series of 224.

Mike Grant and Barry Conant tied for the third best single game score with an 80 while Conant finished with a 205 series for the week.

The Kelly’s Flowers team combined to score best in both the single game and series of the week. Their total single game score was 165 while their best series was 463.

On the women’s side, Sheryl Rowe ended with both the best single game and high series. Rowe finished with an 89 for a single game and came away with a series score of 207. Kate Lloyd, member of the overall best team in the standings, finished with the second-best in both categories as she scored a high single game 64 and a series best 177 for the week. Cindy Miller rounded out the top three women’s scores with a single game 63 and a high series of 163.

While the weather hasn’t been cooperating with the league, the teams are hoping to continue the season on Wednesday, June 26.
