Bowling
By
Tuck Miller
Bowling season
is back. Actually, some leagues started before Labor Day, and of course many
started after wards. One league, I would
like to bring to your attention, is the No Tap League, Monday Nites, in the
Annex, 6:30 pm at Lincoln Lanes. They would like to have at least 2 more teams
join them, but 4, would be even better. If you are interested in joining, head
down to Lincoln lanes on Monday nites.. Maybe you can get 3 more people to join
you as a team.
League results
will be coming right along, but would like to make a suggestion to make it
easier for both the secretaries and bowlers of the leagues. If you have been
bowling for a while, you will know that when you bowl for the 1st series of the new season, you are establishing
a new average. That average could be low or even high, depending on how the
bowler fares for that day. Here is an easy way to make that 1st
week, and even a couple there after a bit more stable. Have a rule in your league bylaws that state
that last year’s average will be used for the 1st 3 weeks. After
that time period, you will use the earned average that you have achieved during
that 3 week time frame. Of course, if a bowler did not bowl in the previous
league, their average would have to be decided in the 1st 3 games
rolled of the season.
As we get
started with this week’s column, I would like to thank the people who send me
in reports, so I have something to tell you each week. Here they are, in no
particular order: Laura Baird, Bill
McDaniel, Joe Stokes, Don Coan, Doug Wagner, Georgia Seward, Nancy Goodner, Linda
Chittick, and Rose Schaeffhold
The Tuesday
Nite Go Getters are first with their reports for the year, with Bill McDaniel
reporting for the past 2 weeks. Dick Lamb rolled a 213, which was 69 pins over
last year’s average. Houston Key had progressive games of 135, 136, and 137. A
bowler actually got an award (patch) for this, back in the day. Maggie Birge rolled a 215, 64 over her last
years average, and was 99 pins over her last years series average with a 552. Split
pickups were as follows: Harl Miller
with the 5-7, Fred Fultz and Charlie Tiffin with the 5-10. Martha Elliott was unable to get the ball
between the 9-10, resulting in her taking down the pair of pins. Lacee Darr and
Jan Frank both picked up the 2-10, with Dot Miller picking up the 3-9-10. Tuck
Miller converted the 4-5-7.
The Senior
League started off in an unconventional method, with your’s truly throwing a
ball straight in the gutter for his very 1st ball of the season competition.
High scores for the past couple of weeks were Linda Engle with 75 pins over her game average with a
181. Meredith Stokes was 52 pins over her game average with a 181.
Joe Blagg was 64 pins over, with a 215, and 148 pins over his series total with
a 601. Dot McDaniel had a 140 game, 53
pins over her game average. She also had a 157, 70 pins over average,
while she bowled 169 pins over her series total. Marion Johnson bowled a 179
game, 72 pins over his average. Jack Ball rolled a 192 game which was 63
pins over. On the 29th of Aug. Linda Engle bowled 104 pins over her
series total.
Split conversions for the league were Aaron Williams, Pam Jeffers, Stan
Harvey and Sue Broderick picking up the 5-7. Jack Ball, John
Gebhart and Shirley Lamm picked up the 5-10. Tuck Miller and Barb
Smith, the 4-5. Ernie Harvey, the 4-5-7. John Ramsey picked up the
5-7 and the 2-4-10. Darlene Edwards knocked out the 3-8-10. Allen Taylor met the challenge, and converted
the 4-7-10, while Bill McDaniel blew apart the 3-6-7-10. Clara Copsy picked up
the 5-6. Laura Baird picked up the 5-6, Jan Frank the 3-6-7-10, Stan
Harvey the 2-10 and Shirley Lamm the 5-10.
The Friday
nite League in Covington is telling us that Mike Dunavan had
a 256 game and a 611 series. Darrell Edwards rolled a 632 series and Terry Bell finished with a 609
series.
Let’s get
back to Thursday nites where the Lutheran League bowls and Georgia Seward is
now reporting. Greg Black rolled a 298
game, with a 743 series. Jason Woodworth had a 280 game, and Kyle Siratt
finished up with a 714 series. Also bowling some great high scoring games were Don
Cheesman 269, Cliff Dupree 267, Derrick Hufford 267 and Steve
Skimehorn with a 776 series.
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
