Only 35 days until spring, but as we all know, warm weather could start earlier than what the calendar shows it to be. Then again, we could actually have a winter, which I hope we do not.
As most of you have probably noticed, I have been keeping track of Jim Miller’s progress in the bowling community. I just received word he just rolled his 3rd 300 game. That makes two 300 games within 9 days. Other scores for his 795 series were 278 and 217. He had a split in the 5th frame of his 3rd game.
In the Alternate Saturday Night Mixed League at Lincoln Lanes, Dewey McClain picked up two 5-7 splits and the 7-9 split. Laiken Bratton was 58 pins over their 114 average for a 172, while Jarrod Swisher, a 131 average bowler, shot 81 pins over for a 212.
In the Tuesday Nite Go-Getters, Houston Key rolled 74 pins over average for a 239, while Paula Tate was 79 pins over her average for a 187. She also finished 81 pins over her 405 series average. Both Dot McDaniel and Terra Hollar picked up the 3-10 split, Sherry Castongue knocked out the 4-10, while Gerald Arnett split apart the 5-7 even further.
We understand the USBC may no longer recognize it, but this columnist and many others believe that you should be recognized on some achievements that they have decided to no longer acknowledge. Bill McDaniel did just that. He threw an all spare game in the Senior League. Congrats Bill. You have our recognition. In other Senior action, Joe Blagg was 53 pins over his game average, with a 233, 120 pins over series total with a 630. Bob Coburn was 52 pins over his game average, with a 174 while Sandy West was 53 pins over with a 182. Splits were plentiful as Jim Thomas, Phyllis Rutan and Rose Newell 5-10. Ernie Harvey knocked out both the 7-8, and the 4-5-7. Laura Baird, and Bob Maxwell converted the 5-6 while Jim Thomas gave a demo on how to pick up the 5-7-9. Not to be left out, Blagg knocked out both the 3-6-10 and the 4-7; .Once again, some great bowling in the Monday nite Church No-Tap league. Jeremy Randolph seems to be unstoppable, as he rolls 2 highs games of 285 & 279. He ended up rolling a 805 series. The 285 game was 63 pins over his 222 average. Joe Davis was not a slacker himself. He rolled a 278, 63 pins over his 215 average for a final series tally of 785. Jeff Lane knocked out a high game of 277, which is 97 pins over his 180 average. Sharon Craft shot 61 pins over her 191 average for a 253. Sue Strong held out for a 675 showing. A strong showing. Other bowlers that were 50 or more pins over their averages were Mike Jett, 77 pins over his 179 normal, for a final of 256. Nancy Goodner, a 161 bowler, knocked out 68 pins over for a final result of 229. Lynnse Gondzur slammed out 66 pins over her 133 average for a 199. Julie Lomax has a high game of 135, which was 58 pins over her 77 average, while Leean Palmer KO’ed 50 pins over her 131 average for a final score of 181.
Rule of the week review:
Rule 9 – Bowling on the Wrong Lane
In league or tournament play, a dead ball shall be called and the player or players required to rebowl on the correct lane when:
a. One player bowls on the wrong lane.
b. One player from each team on the pair of lanes bowls on the wrong lane.
If more than one player on the same team bowls on the wrong lane in turn, all deliveries stand as bowled. Upon discovery, bowlers shall complete subsequent frames on the correct lanes.
In singles match play competition, where a player normally bowls two frames each time it is the player’s turn to bowl, and the player bowls on the wrong lanes, a dead ball shall be called and the player required to rebowl on the correct lanes, providing the error was discovered before the opposing player has made a delivery. Otherwise, the score stands as bowled, with all subsequent frames in the game bowled on the correct lanes.
Until next week, let’s have fun and knock ‘em down. See you at the lanes.
