I would like congratulate the players on the Bounty Hunters team at Valley Forge. Thank you to Sheryl Walker, Paige Sterner, Kevin Hoy, Barry Jacoby, Bill Naugle, Shane Newman, and John Barnshaw for allowing me to captain a team with all of you on it that made one heck of a run in the Dream Team event. It was probably as close as a team can get to winning a board and just finish as the runner up. I hope each of you will consider making another run at it with me next year. The $2000.00 prize money is nice but the accomplishment is what will stick with you. You all exemplified what a team is all about. Thank You, Rick Wise
Our singles and teams did very well at Rally in the Valley.

The following singles qualified to the main boards, out of the round robin...

Overall, this Rally was a very enjoyable experience. I am very proud of all who attended and how great they competited. I have several things to work on from the league operators meeting, but keep watching the boards. I learned alot and a lot of items will be added to the website and boards....
