DBA raises local dues, Hufford has great night.


As talked about last week, a meeting of the Danville Bowling Association was held last Wednesday night, and the main topic was the raising of local association dues. There were a couple of proposals put on the floor, both were voted upon, and the final vote was the raising of the local dues to $10, instead of the present $7. Questions were raised whether the 14-12 vote should have been two thirds instead of a majority vote. This will be looked into with the USBC. On other Association news, Darren Van Duyn was elected as the new association President, replacing Don Cheeseman, who did not seek reelection. Van Duyn’s term is 3 years.
    Derrick Hufford had a great night this past week, not letting a smashed finger, and a borrowed bowling ball deter him from rolling a 804 series, including a 290, an 267, and a final game of 247. That was the 2nd 290 game for him in the past 2 weeks.
   In Monday nite action, Bulan’s reports that their Mixed league had a few people who rolled 50 or more pins over their averages. They are Sandi Burke, rolling 63 pins over her 161 average for a 224, Brent Honn, 74 pins over his 140 average for a 214, and Kevin Tyler, a 165 average bowler, slamming out a 215, 50 pins over.
    Going to Mid-town Danville, the Church No-Tappers were active at Lincoln Lanes. Sue Strong was leading the group with a 252 game in a 658 series. Strong also picked up the 6-7 split. Several bowlers rolled 50 or more pins over their averages. They were Strong, with the 252, 67 pins over. Steve Newell, a 183 average bowler, bowled 60 pins over, to garner a 243. Larry Craft, 59 pins over a 196 average, for a final tally of 259. Leean Palmer was 60 pins over an average of 142, for a final score of 202. Miles Clark, was also 60 pins over his 148 average for a 208. Brad Wheeler threw 52 pins over 154, for a total of 206. Essie Syass threw a 195, 71 pins over her average of 124. 120 average bowler Krystle Evans topped her average by 68 pins to get a 188, and Ella Ellis was 62 pins over 113, for her game of 175. The No Tappers are looking for a couple more teams. Drop by on a Monday night to check it out.
     In Tuesday nite action at Lincoln Lanes, The Go Getters had quite a number of bowlers going 50 or more pins over.  Joe Blagg had top honors for the nite, with a 544 series, 135 pins over his series average, which included a game of 216, 73 pins over average. Not too far behind him was Kyle McMasters, who rolled 130 pins over his series average, and rolled two 200 games, which were both 62 pins over. Tracy Smith was 58 pins over for a 215. Jon Castle shook things up a bit while bowling a 223, 73 pins over. Charlie Tiffin was 55 over for a 190, while Paula Beatty was 71 over with a 203.
     The Thursday afternoon Senior League had some good scores reported as well. Bob Maxwell shot a 209 with a 526 series and Sue Strong rolled a 554 with a190 game. John Gebhart had a 202 game with a 567 series, while Joe Blagg topped out with a207 game and a 536 series.
   As you can see, had a couple of more leagues join us this week, and maybe a couple more will be joining us here in the near future including some high scoring ones. Because of this, I am going to report more on the actual scores, and not so much the split conversions. Don’t get me wrong, some of them are really great, and if I see some big split conversions being reported, I will give them credit where credit is due. Of course, I also want to give you info on upcoming tournaments as well as their results, but I only know of them when given the information.
Please submit all reports before midnight on Mondays. If you need any more info, drop me a note at illianabowling@gmail.com.
