The first half of the Mile Hi Horseshoe Club’s season at Watson Lake is in the books. Two classes of pitchers battled it out with one dominating and the other needed to rally from a slow start.
An early start was welcomed by all participants as temperatures warmed up quickly. A few high clouds and a breeze were a plus as the temperature was in the mid 80s by tournaments end.
Cody Williams won the overall tournament championship beating out Hal Handelman and Emmett Jones, who finished second and third. Williams swept his opponents and sits at a 44.50 average on the season.
