Weatherford Horseshoe Club has been selected to host the Texas State Doubles Championship Tournament this year.Â
On Saturday, all day long, pitchers will be teamed and try to claim they are the best. Horseshoe pitching has a long history in Texas and this yearâs version seems to be one of the best.
There are many singles state champions coming to town. The players who have won state championships and participating are: Debra Odom (10-time Womenâs Champion, carrying the top average in Texas at 83%), Doris Hieden (six-time Womenâs Champion), Jeff Finke (three-time Menâs Champion), Ed Posey (two-time Menâs Champion), and Polly Murphy and Willie Rutledge, each one-time champion.
