The Missouri State Tournament was held April 21 and 22, 2012 at McDonalds in Blue Springs, Missouri. It was a small group with only six players participating -- five from Missouri and one from Illinois. Ken Kelly stopped by and visited and played a few games with the players.

Congratulations to George Cook for winning the championship for the 6th time. George and Bill fought a tough battle.

A special thank you to Wilma Wolverton for sponsoring the tournament and providing doughnuts and coffee and also to those who donated to the prize fund bringing our total to $445.00.
