Dec 6, 2011

Before we get to the heart of the column this week, the accomplishments of our area bowlers, I need to make a short observation.  I have received a few comments about portions of this column becoming boring. I am speaking of where I have been talking about the technical stuff, like ball specifications or parameters, so I will discontinue that, and go back to an actual rule of the week.  I guess it is always good to refresh your memory once in a while. So, look towards the bottom of each article to see if you remember the rule of the week. Oh, if you have a funny story about one of your bowling experience’s that you would like to share, send it to me.
  A report from the Tuesday Morning league tells us that Michelle Huber picked up the 6-7-10 split. The Tuesday Nite Go-Getters really did not have a lot of big scores, but these people are really picking up their spares by converting some good splits.  In the last 2 weeks, Cheryl Rhoton picked up the 3-10 twice, and Terry Moreman picked up the 3-10, 5-10, 2-4-10 and the 5-6. Fred Fultz picked up both the 7-9 and the 5-6. Jon Castle grabbed the 2-4-8-10. Steve Lamb was not satisfied until he showed he could pick up the 3-4-6-7-10. His dad, Dick Lamb converted the 5-7. Paula Beatty picked up the 5-8-10 while Mac McDaniel showed how to pick up the 4-5-7-8. The Senior League reports that Bob Beck was tearing up the lanes. He was 149 pins over his series average with games of 233, 181, and finished off with a 209 for a 623 series. Congrats to Sandy West for bowling her 1st 200 game over, and 73 pins over her average. John Ramsey was 53 pins over his average with a 234, while Harvey Miller out did his average by 58 pins. Karen Beck picked up both the 5-6, and the 5-10. Shirley Miller knocked off the 3-9-10.
In the Alternate Saturday Night Mixed League, Terry Bell was also on a hot steak, rolling games of 239, 225 and 221 for a 685 series. The 239 game was 54 pins over his 185 average.
      Check these scores out from the Monday Nite Church No Tap league:  Sharon Craft was 62 pins over her 194 average with a 256. Robbie Ketcherside, rolled a 759 series which included a game of 274, 72 pins over his 202 average. Scott Cunningham was right behind him with a 688. Yvonne Scruggs not only rolled 51 pins over her 179 average for a game total of 230, but she also picked the 4-8-10 split. Not to be left out though, Richard Morgan picked up the 5-10, not once, but twice.
     There was rumor floating around last week that the Wednesday morning league was folding. Even though they need both new teams and bowlers, they are continuing.
    Let’s get back to our rule of the week.
