A New League Record – Week 20 Recap

Metro Electric gathers around Coot's trophy while celebrating their league-record 5th victory.

What a night for a new league record!  A perfect 85º, sunny, and a nice breeze: it was the best final night ever!

Ed Williams and Nick Kausch earned closest-to-the-pin honors.

But, of course, the real story was the match-up between Metro Electric and The “Z” Band for the 25th League Championship.

Metro Electric was just too much for the red hot The “Z” Band to handle.  Metro took 6 of 10 points on the night to capture their 5th league title.

After finishing in first place for the first half, they tumbled to last place in the second half.  But, now, Metro is the team that holds the record for most league wins by a team at five (5) wins.  They have won the title in ’90, ’94, ’02, ’04, and now ’11.

This makes the league record for wins by a player now six (6):

• Chris Caruso (’90, ’94, ’98, ’02, ’04, ’11)
• Chris Tockstein (’91, ’94, ’98, ’02, ’04, ’11)
• Matt Gagnepain (’90, ’94, ’98, ’02, ’04, ’11)

The Shoot-Out Winners on the night:

• A Flight: John Greffet – Jeff Pohrer
• B Flight: Tom Heyl – Kevin Oliver
• C Flight: Gary Seymour – Tim Sargent

And so another year comes to an end; and it was a great one – everything 25 years had to offer!  A few guys joined and earned their way off the Milestone Watch, several earned closest-to-the-pin honors or won a skin, and a couple guys earned some season-end awards.  All-in-all, a great season.

1. Metro Electric
2. The “Z” Band
