South retains lead after billiards
With three days of competition in the books, South Carbon County continues to lead the 2023 Senior Games with a combined score of 321; but North Carbon County is continuing the fight with a combined team score of 195.
Who will be left standing when all the dust settles from the two weeks of competition? We’ll have to wait and see.
Anne Horrigan, director of the games, said that there are a few changes to next week’s games. The outdoors events at Baer Memorial Park will be held on Monday, while bowling will now take place on Tuesday.
Thursday’s events included billiards.
