Ladies’ Darts: High score of 105 headlines play

The upper hall of the Paris Legion was vibrating this past Thursday night, and it wasn’t just from the impact of darts hitting the cork. Between the vintage tracks, a "yoga queen" on the decks, and some high-stakes candy counting, the local ladies' dart league proved once again why Thursday is the undisputed favorite night of the week.

The evening’s atmosphere was set by Patty S, who earned the title of "Yoga Queen" while pulling double duty as the night’s DJ. Blasting hits from the past, Patty kept the energy levels high, leading an impromptu dance party that lasted all night long.

The spirited energy translated into some "vigorous" celebrations on the floor. Bev W (affectionately dubbed the "Motor Boat Queen" by her peers) and partner Nancy B were seen celebrating their big win with an enthusiasm that matched the loud music upstairs. While the darts were flying, the drama of the "Valentine’s Guess" reached its conclusion. After missing out on the contest last week, Gail D was given a second shot at redemption by Kris "Booner".

In a display of pinpoint accuracy that would make any pro jealous, Gail guessed the exact number of candy hearts remaining in the jar: one. For her perfect intuition, she walked away with a haul of Werther’s, lottery tickets, and a custom hoodie provided by local sponsor Jaymack Supplies Ltd.

The competition on the boards was just as sharp as the wit in the room. Here are the top performers from Thursday night:

The Double-Out Leaders: Five players dominated the finishes this week, with Katy O, Patti S, Nichole D, Debi P, and Tracy T each securing two double-outs.

Team Closers: Bryanna K, Michelle S, and Gail D (capping off her lucky night) each secured a crucial win for their respective teams.

High Score of the Night: Shari E took the crown for the highest single turn, racking up an impressive 105.

The Bullseye Sisters: Skill clearly runs in the family this week. Debbie K hammered home two bullseyes in her second game, while her sister Diane S followed suit with one of her own.
