    17 year old Dustin White recently rolled a 278 on the Roll “Em Big team, at Lincoln Lanes, on a recent Thursday nite.  Visiting the center this last Thursday evening, I found Dustin to be a very friendly, humble young man. May he have much success in the years to come.

       In the Tuesday Nite Go-Getters,  Steve Lamb is once again in the news with a 226, which is 65 pins over his average, and 111 pins over his series average.  Maggie Birge rolled 53 pins over her average with a 208, and Russ Puzey was also 53 over, with a 174. Right next to the Go-Getters  is the 332 league, and Mark Leverenz rolled a 235, 60 pins over his average. Also 60 over was Joe Elliot with a 206, and he actually was 68 pins over his series average. Not to be left out, Teddy Carter rolled 59 pins over his series average with a 620.

      In the DnA karaoke League, Virginia Ferpotto picked up the 2, 7, 6, 10 split and Marjorie Parrish bowled 57 pins over her average.   In the Senior League,  Bill Reynolds was 54 pins over his game average of 127,  and Stan Harvey was 50 over his average of 183, which gave him a 624 series.. The Monday Night Mixed League at Bulan’s,  Rich McFarland rolled a 256. Sandi Burke   topped out at 265, while Tracy Atwood totaled a final score of 256. Finally, in the Monday Night Church No-Tap league, Sue Strong hit a 267, while Stephanie Scruggs bowled 265. J R Scruggs rolled a 717 series for the men, while Sue Strong hit a 676 series. The following had 50 or more pins over:  Sue Strong-65 Jimmy Scruggs 58, Stephanie Scruggs 99, Brock Dieu 81, Brad Wheeler 60 and Corissa Miller 74.

2. Substitutes count to determine a legal lineup, unless otherwise provided by league rule.

     Until next week, let’s have fun and knock ‘em down.
