in March. But look over this list and check out if these still finished in the top 10. There has been some shuffling so, if they did, where did they finish. The top 3, Tona Pendray, Kyle Matuszewski and Will Collier, seem secure where they sit but the rest of the field, Catherine Noble, Lori Davis, Bobby Oliver, Rylee Wright, Whitney Hampson, Brandon Crain and Craig Carter can still see some shuffling with some new names cracking the list. I am looking forward to watching this play out over December and congratulating everyone in the next article.
ACE Hardware Steak Points Chase
As with the ancillary top 10 list, by the time you read this we will know where everyone finished. But this chase is so tight, the only thing we’re certain of is there will be some shuffling around. With several cookoffs on New Year’s Eve, you can rest assured this championship won’t be decided until we wake up New Year’s Day. This chase was just that close: Tim Brown and Rusty Hadacek tied for first, with Sandy Brown hot on their heels to repeat as champion. Terry Roan holds a slim 4th place which can see him mov- ing up. Scott Nardi and Ginnie Holmes are tied for 5th. John Greene and Jessica Barnes are close enough to take several leaps forward. Marty Plute and Larry Holmes round out this list. What does this look like now? Here is where it was as we entered this final month of the 2021 season. How many are still there? Where did they finish? A lot of ques- tions will be answered soon.
Happy SCA New Year!
