Gardnerville Mus Tournament Results
Last Saturday, the Mendiko Euskaldun Cluba held its annual Mus Tournament. As noted by one participant, “the Super Bowl of Mus” brought together fifty-five teams at the Carson Valley Inn to play. At the end of the day, three teams advanced to represent the club at the NABO Mus finals in June. First place went to father-daughter team, Miguel and Bernadette Leonis Fritsen, second place went to brothers-in-law Jean Luc Chiramberro, and Philip Elicagaray, and third place went to Daniel Jaureguy and John Lahargou. Zorionak to all of the winners as well as to the club members who made it all possible!
