| 2008 CLASS A STATE CHAMPS YAHR OIL COMPANY WEST BEND, WI |
The 2008 State 9-player dartball Tournament was held at Turner Hall and the HAWC Center in Watertown, Wisconsin, on March 29
& 30, 2008. Another monster turnout of 74 teams enjoyed a highly-successful Dartball summit. The Watertown dartball group did
a great job hosting the tournament, and was led by Dale "Boss" Zubke . Here are the results:
.
CLASS A - CHAMPIONSHIP: (1) Yahr Oil Company (West Bend) capped a tense final with (2) Collins Sportsmen's Club (Collins) with
come-from-behind rallies in the ninth inning of each game, winning 20-19 and 20-18. In the opener, Rich Yahr's triple tied the score; and son
Mike's single was the winner. Erv Fiedler and Jeff "Smokey" Langholff duplicated that feat in game #2 to squeeze out Yahr's first State
Championship since 1988. Pre-tournament favorites (3) MBC Sports (Mondovi) and (4) Hickory Inn (South Milwaukee) ran out of luck in the
semi-finals and had to settle for a one-game match for third place.
.
Seven Yahr players became first-time State Champs - Bob Boeder, Erv Fiedler, Jeff "Smokey" Langholff, Jim "Doc" Loppnow, Arlie Schilling,
Randy "Frazier" Stauffer and Mike Yahr. The new Champs were rounded out by Harry Roecker and Curt, Rich and Bob Yahr.
.
CLASS A - CONSOLATION: (1) Geidel's Enterprises (West Bend) (2) Ken's Tap (Muskego) (3) Bull Pen Bar & Grill (Forestville) took a
one-game match from (4) Eske Drywall (Watertown).
.
CLASS B - CHAMPIONSHIP: (1) Bunkelmann Builders (Kewaskum) beat (2) Tom's Bar & Grill (Slinger),13-8 and 14-3. (3) Silk (Juneau) (4)
The Loop (Little Chicago).
.
CLASS B - CONSOLATION: (1) Dave & Mary Ann's (Kenosha) (2) Frank's Power Plant (Milwaukee) (3) Asche's Tap (Milwaukee) (4)
Wyandot County (OHIO) Church League. Our friends from Ohio, Kevin and Laura Parsell, returned this year and are looking forward to next
year's tournament at Ho-Chunk Casino in Wisconsin Dells.
.
WOMEN - CHAMPIONSHIP: What is left to be said about (1) L&R Trophy (Kewaskum)?! They have now won the last SIX Women's titles. In
spite of a spirited effort by (2) Van's Bar (Sturgeon Bay), L&R did it again, 7-5, 0-5 and 6-5 (11 innings). The perennial Champs were pushed
to the brink in game #3 but were saved by Jackie Burtard's winning triple in the bottom of the 11th inning. (3) Lebby's Frozen Pizza "Pepperoni
Heads" (Lebanon) (4) Emerald Hills Golf Course (Two Rivers).
.
WOMEN - CONSOLATION: (1) Photos By Leslie Faye (Plymouth) (2) Zastrow Heating & Cooling (Watertown) (3) Bucket's Pub (Racine) and
(3) Schult's Country Inn (Merrill) did not play for third place.
.
ONE-MAN SHOOT-OFF: (1) Chuck Spahn - Hickory Inn (South MIlwaukee) (2) Bob Leskovar - Hickory Inn (South MIlwaukee) (3) Ron Ford -
MBC Sports (Mondovi) (4) Terry Olson - MBC Sports (Mondovi). Mr. Spahn and Mike Goetsch - MyRik (Manitowoc) tied for High-Qualifier at
15, and Chuck won a play-off to take the trophy.
.
ROUND ROBIN SHOOT-OFF: Dennis LaPlant, the lefty stepper from Dave & Mary Ann's (Kenosha), hit the 1b, 2b, 3b, 2bs and HR in order
in only six darts to top the weekend-long competition. Four players went around in eight darts. (2) Randy "Frazier" Stauffer - Yahr Oil Company
(West Bend) won a play-off from (3) Matt Binder - Dunn's Sporting Goods (West Allis). Tom Kossow - 4 Seasons/Bud Light (Niagara) and
Chuck Spahn - Hickory Inn (South Milwaukee) did not appear.
.
The Tournament had a decidedly West Bend - Kewaskum flavor to it, with teams from those two next-door neighbors taking four of the six
Championships.
