No scores from The Bowler this week. Snow kept me from picking them up. (Should have gotten them early on Tuesday.) I will include them in next week’s column.
Wilson’s Craig Davis rolled the latest perfect game scoring 736/300 and the week’s high at that center. The next high at Wilson Lanes was Brett Stenberg’s 707/257.
The area’s top score reported for the week was Chad Gable’s 794/299 at White Oak Lanes. Chad adds another honor score to his list. Adam Blackburn was next high at White Oaks rolling 724/254
Senior Betty Richards bowled a big 289 game in the Monday Seniors League at White Oak Lanes. Although their league is not sanctioned it is a great accomplishment and likely her best ever game score.
Jeremiah Howsare was the top bowler for the week at Sherwood Lanes bowling 729/257. Doug Courtney followed rolling 681/258.
Bobby Lannon’s 725/258 was Rainbow’s top score for the week and CP Sines was next at that center rolling 709/258.
Melissa Snyder bowled 635/226 at Wilson Lanes and was the area’s top lady bowler for the week. Vicki DeSantis followed Snyder on Wilson’s list, rolling 525/182.
Autumn Gable bowled 580/226 for the ladies’ high at White Oaks. Michele Hitchens followed, rolling a big 247 game and 571 set.
At Rainbow Lanes, Lou Dille scored highest of the ladies rolling 542/214. Sandy Hott was next only one pin back bowling 541/188.
Alice Monahan bowled 525/192 and was Sherwood’s top lady for the week.
Richards claimed the area’s senior high for the week with her monster game of 289 and a 605 set scored at White Oak Lanes. Senior Don Beeman rolled 402/171 at Sherwood Lanes.
Only a couple of youth scores this week due to snow problems. Charles Abernathy bowled 603/207 at Rainbow and Josh Kroll rolled 566/222 at Sherwood.
A critical factor in assuring that bowling’s future will be secure for our children and grandchildren is having strong, effective local USBC associations to keep national officials on the right path to that future. The sanction fee paid by bowlers support both the local and national officials in their efforts in doing the things that govern bowling uniformly throughout the U.S. The fees also support the awards program that reward bowlers for extra special performance.
Betty Richards would have received high game, high series and pins over average awards if sanctioned. I agree that there would not be that many performance awards for most senior bowlers, however, to those few that receive national recognition I believe the other bowlers in that league would take pride in having the awarded performance take place in their league. If this sounds like a pitch to get senior leagues sanctioned, you are correct. You may get more members if they think that they still may bowl that high game maybe even a 300.
Good luck bowling and have fun striking out!
