     Like the energizer bunny, he keeps going on and on and on. On Friday, March 16, Nick Grubb rolled a 300. Then this past Friday he rolled another 299.  Jeremy Randolph is also on the roll with a game of 278 and a series of 733, while Joe Davis shot a 692, both No-Tap. What are these guys doing, that I am not? Tell me your secret guys!!
    Continuing with the No-Tap League, the following had 50 or more pins over average: Scott Cunningham had a 265, 72 pins over his 193 average. Brock Dieu topped his 181 average by 61 pins for a 242. Terry Jones, a 197 average bowler, shot a 254, 57 pins over his norm. Steve Newell rolled 79 pins over his 173 average, for a 252 game.

Hall of Famer Mac McDaniel was 72 pins over for a 223, Bub Tiffin shot 60 over for a 202, while Gary Holycross knocked out a 226, 53 pins over his normal average. In the DNA Karaoke League, or MS Nails League, nothing really to report.  The Tuesday Morning Ladies league from Westville is letting us know that Nicole Waterman picked up the 2-5-10. on Tuesday mornings.
     Top bowlers in the Senior League this week were Stan Harvey, 64 pins over his game average with a 242. Donna Berlin had  58 pins over her normal game average, with a 197;  Ernie Harvey, shot 57 pins over his game average with a 237 and 100 pins over his series total, while Bill Reynolds was 63 pins over average with a 171.  Bob Beck, 56 pins over his game average with a 219 and Hall of Famer Margo Johnson topped 63 pins over her game average with a 194. Showing us how to pick up splits were Jack Taylor with the 3-6-7, Bill McDaniel, with both the 3-10 and the 5-6-10. Sue Strong converted the 2-7, while Shirley Reynolds slammed down the 5-10. Martha Elliott knocked out both the3-7, and 5-7, Darlene Edwards shot down the 5-6. Judy Arnett made perfect contact between both the 4=5 to smack them out. Jim Thomas also joined in by converting the 5-10.
     We are starting to get close to the end of the winter leagues, just about a month or so to go. Please advise us of your league champions and runner-ups, with the names of the bowlers from each team.
