There they are, our own
little lineup of monoliths, the awards for KCBS
Team of the Year categories. Rhythm 'n QUE finished in
7th place Overall
among a field of over 4000 scored teams, and 10th in
chicken, 7th in ribs,
7th in pork and 15th in brisket. There aren't many teams in the country that
have a matched set of five of
these this year, and we're quite proud of ours.
