A wonderful tribute to a titan of the game.
Colleen Jones asked me to interview her a couple of months ago during a chemotherapy appointment.
She told me to write one heck of a story. I hope I did her proud.
About always believing something wonderful is about to happen.

Couldn't quite overcome our early event struggles to make playoffs. 6th best DSC of the 32-team field, and we learned a lot to hopefully take with us to Charlotte next month.

Not sure if the shot Shuster called was there, but still managed to pick out one. Down two without hammer in the 10th.
The way Team Casper is playing, feels like it's going to take a lot of things to go wrong for this to flip back to Shuster.
