Week 6

An absolutely enthralling Week 6 is in the books, and it was a week of firsts. 'Lucky' Joe Kelly made the championship game and won in dramatic fashion.  Needing three points to clinch the championship and only an open pit in his way, Joe's first shoe opened up perfectly, only to be mere inches short of the clinching ringer.  Channeling his inner Whopper™ hunger, Joe dug deep, released his second shoe, and tapped the shoe in question past the stake for a championship-clinching ringer.  The crowd went wild, ending what most would say was the pinnacle of WEHL thus far.


Matthew Roll was given the dreaded Hundley Award for sub-par play after last weeks 0-6 performance.  This definitely served as motivation as Matt turned in a performance for the ages racking up three wins en route to a first ever championship invite.


Matt Magers delivered on his promise and made his first appearance of the year. After much talk about his horseshoe skill and roughly 30 minutes of practice time before the first game, he dropped an egg, scoring only five points over four games.


Matt Kolar was the unfortunate beneficiary of a league-first "dong burger" after an errant shoe struck him in the genitals.


Nick Swanson is still murdering the rest of the league with yet another championship. 


Hungry Lucky Joe Kelly's dad Jim Kelly even showed up.

BUT.  The HUGE news of the week was the attendance.  Player turnout reached an all time high of eleven.  That leads us to possibly the greatest moment of Earthly cultural significance next Thursday.  In chronological order: 

#1:  Man creates fire

#2:  Egyptians build the pyramids

#3:  Benjamin Franklin discovers electricity

#4:  Man lands on the moon

#5:  The fall of the Berlin wall

...

...and coming next Thursday to the West End Horseshoe 

League:

HORSESHOES UNDER THE LIGHTS!

This is going to be an event that possibly changes the course of human history.  To celebrate this rare occasion, we will be having a one-time-only "Ladies Night".  

Bring your wife/girlfriend/coitus-buddy to the league next week.  Along with the usual beverages, feel free to bring a small snack.  It can be something as small as Dill Pickle Sunflower Seeds (Week 7 dill testing will be bypassed) to something as large as chips and a dip.


It's going to be special.  Tell your friends.  Tell your enemies.  Shit.  Tell Rick Frantz for all I care.  Whatever you do, just make sure to tell them the league motto:


"If you ain't playin' West End Horseshoes, YOU AIN'T SHIT."


See y'all next week.  It's gonna be epic.
