The West Michigan Coast team won a friendly practice match 10-6 against the top players from the northern Lower Peninsula on Saturday 3/27/10, where all games were G/30 and all results were decisive! Tony Palmer, Ratko Bojanovic, Andy Catlin and Allen Wickering represented WMC, while the Up-North All Stars were Greg Bailey, Duane Croel, Joe Meyer and Adam Masek. Thanks to Greg Bailey for hosting the match in his home, and for providing a fine pizza lunch for the group between rounds.
