Miller Rolls His 5th Perfect game Oct 17, 2013

Here we go again. Yet again, another youngster, rolling a 300 game. These guys make it look so easy. This time, it was former Danville resident, Jim Miller. Now, a resident of Mahomet, it was his 5th perfect game.     
   Some of you might have been scratching your heads the past couple of weeks with how I was reporting the games 50 or more pins above their averages. Very simple, the 1st number would be their game, then, the 2nd number in parenthesis would be the number of pins actually over.
   A Couple’s No Tap tournament will be held this coming Saturday at noon, at the Westville Legion Bowling Center. Handicap is set at 90% of 220. If you have no average, you will be bowling scratch. Cost is $40 and there is a limit of the 1st 10 couples paid. Contact Doug Oakes at 304-4735.
   The Monday Night No Tap League’s Pam Jones rolled the high game for the week with a 253,  80 pins over her average. Other bowlers achieving 50 or more pins over were: Shirley Perryman 235 (55), Terry Jones 232 (55), Krystle Evans 229 (64), Karen Lane 186 (84), and McKenna Smith 160 (55).
    The Monday Morning Ladies League in Westville reports that Mary Seilhymer bowled a 173 (52).
    The Tuesday Nite Go Getters had some great games with the following: Mac McDaniel 193 (50), Joe Elliott 177 (50), Charles Tiffin 202 (65), and 536 series (125), Dot McDaniel 173 (58), and Cheryl Rhoton 191 (56). Two difficult spare conversions were made. Bub Tiffin with the 2-9 and Houston Key with the 4-7-10.
    High rollers for the Senior League are Terry Bell with a 269 (74), and Ernie Harvey had a 221 (50). Impressive split pickups included Sue Strong with the 6-7, Dot McDaniel 4-5, and Joe Stokes with the 5-6.
     The Thursday Night Lutheran League is telling us that Donnie Cheeseman had a 726 series and that Bill Reik had a 280 game. Others were Austin Paxton with a 269 (83), and Shelly Henry 204 (72).
     For McHarry’s League, we have the following results:  On October 5th, Steve Finch 247 (64)and a 700 series (247, 237, 216), Jason Turner with a707 series (227, 256, 224), Robin Turner 683 series (223, 237, 223), Terrence Tetter 202 (50), and David Winchester 279 (78) and a 728 series 279, 205, 244.
    Fast Lanes in Hoopeston is alerting us that their Youth League is coming up with some great scores. High scores for this week were Mercy Linder with a 216 game. Wes Raven had games of 225 and 223, with a series of 537. Not bad for a 12 year old.
   The Sunday Night Mixed League, Geoffrey Berlin led the way with a 267 game and a 726 series. Deb Dillman had a 200 game, while Jessica Dobkins rolled a 506 series. The Monday Nite Ladies League had Laurie Wisdom with a 244 game, and Jessica Dobkins with a 237 game and a 657 series. Susan Goble 212 (61). The Will Bruen’s Thursday Nite League has Porgy Anderson and Jay Ferdinand with 278 games, and Anderson with a 741 series. Ferdinand Construction set the pace with a 982 scratch game and a 2722 4 man scratch series. Brandon Hamilton had a 279 game and a 751 series to lead the Friday Nite Mixed League. That was 5 weeks in a row for a 700 series. Karen Porth had a 256 game, and a 614 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
