Bowling

By Tuck Miller

        

    If you are a league secretary, we would like to encourage you to submit reports with us each week. Deadlines are Tuesday nites at midnight. My goal is to recognize our league bowlers with their accomplishments during the bowling year.

     The Monday Night no tap league is rolling right along, and are reporting some great scores. First off, J.R. Scruggs knocked out a 300. Sharon Craft rolled a 257, with a 661 series. Nancy Goodner rolled 86 pins over average with a 254. Jimmy Scruggs knocked out  a 246 game, and Larry Craft scored a 231. 

    The Monday Morning Ladies League in Westville has Mary Seilhymer rolling a 175, 51 pins over her 104 average. Phyllis Rhutan rolled a 202, 68 pins over average, and 130 pins over series by knocking out a 532.

         The Tuesday Nite Go Getters welcomed Jordyn Castle to this year’s league. Jordyn is new to the sport and is starting to increase his average, so he was elated when he rolled 60 pins over his 97 average for a 157. Congrats Jordyn. Irv Summers rolled a 213, 68 pins over.

   While your writer was bowling at Lincoln Lanes this past Tuesday, it was announced that Derreck Hufford had just rolled a 300. You should remember that name, as this his is 7th 300 game of his bowling career.

  Don’t let the Senior League fool you. They are actually trying very hard, and succeeding on rolling some high scores to keep up with the younger folks. For example, John Gebhart rolled 89 pins over his average to finish with a 255, while Allen Taylor hit a 213, 63 pins over, and also topped out with a 585 series, 135 pins over his normal series average. Let’s not forget about Martha Elliott, who rolled a 498 series, 111 pins over series, while Sue Broderick was 57 pins over norm with a 193 game.

   Some great scores were submitted from the Friday nite League in Covington. You might recognize some names. Beth Barnes bowled a 211 which was 79 over her 132 avg. Kevin Barnes bowled a 267 which was 94 over his 173 average and had 647 series 184-196-267. Aaron Howard bowled a 210 which was 54 over his average. Steven Jones bowled a 247 which was 79 over and a 579 series 147-185-247. Ted Pearman bowled a 225 for 51 over, while Bill Shoaf bowled a 215 which was 56 over his 159 norm. Jon Dunavan knocked out a 255 which was 82 over his 173 average and a 607 series 176-255-176. Mike Dunavan bowled 206-200-200 for a 606 series. Darrell Edwards bowled a 179-203-232 for a 614 series with a 204 average.

    Some great scores also coming from McHarry's Bowling League. They were Shirley Perryman average of 145, she bowled a 203. Elisa Pendleton bowled a 179. John Pendleton rolled a 212. Jerome Nelson Jr. knocked out a 238 while Steve Finch bowled a 243. All these scores were at least 50 or more pins above averages.

   Sorry to say, to conserve space, I cut out all spare conversions. Keep sending them in tho, as I may need to include them.

   That wraps up the reports for this week. If you are a league secretary, we would love to have your league reports. Drop me an e-mail message to illianabowling@gmail.com
