Skimehorn rolls his 2nd 300 of the Year.

    He’s done it once again. Remember the name Steve Skimehorn? We wrote about him a few weeks back about getting a 300 game. Well, here we are again, reporting another 300 game, this time in the Lutheran League, Thursday nites at Lincoln Lanes. This makes his 2nd 300 game this season. More on the Lutheran League a bit later.
  This past weekend we had about 15 Senior bowlers compete in a Senior State Tournament. Official scores are not yet in, but our preliminary findings are we did have a couple of guys who bowled quite well, and at least one, who did not. How many of you have seen the name “vacant” on the bowling monitors at the various bowling centers. Well, your’s truly, could not even beat vacant, or so it seemed.
  The Monday morning League in Westville reports that Barb Smith picked up the 2-10 split.
   On Monday nite, the No Tap League had Sharon Craft bowl not only a 278 game, but also a 710 series. Others with 50 or more pins were: U Pete Williams 230 (55), Jim Switzer 225 (54), Joanie Hedlund (73), Karen Hoskins 219 (56), McKenna Smith 187 (75), and Sara Switzer with a 198 (64).
   On Tuesday morning the MS Nails’ Sandy Stewart rolled a 223, Sharon Craft a 203, and Donna Rayhel picked up the 4-9 split.
   The Go Getters were really rolling the other nite. Tracy Smith topped out 62 pins over average with a 223. Others with 50 or more over game, or 100 or more over series were:  Ron Blagg 228 (58), Houston Key 214 (55), Dick Lamb 525 (102), Fred Fultz 191 (61), and 498 (108). Split conversions included: Mac McDaniel picked up the 5-10, as well as the 5-6. Paula Beatty did as well. Laura Baird knocked out the 5-6-10, while Sue Strong clobbered both the 6-7-10, and 9-10 splits. Jordyn Castle picked up the 5-7, while Tuck Miller made the 4-7-9 disappear.
   High game for the Senior League this past Thursday was a 236, rolled by Ed Reed, 57 pins over. Others were: Marla Troyer 203 (52), Houston Key 223 (62), and Jack Taylor 210 (62), and a 553 series (109). Split pickups had Sue Strong with the 4-5, Laura Biard 5-6-10, Michael Seward 5-7, John Gebhart 4-10, and Judy Gebhart, the 6-7-10.
   Now we get back to the Lutheran League,where Skimehorn not only bowled  the 300 game, but also rolled a 774 series. Others were Bruce Rothery 242 (69), Eric Crockett 242 (66), Sue Moore 179 (57) and Kyle Sirratt with a 709 series.
   In the Friday Nite Mixed League at Danville Lincoln Lanes, Donny Cheeseman rolled a 684 series, with a 256 game (53). Steve Zaayer 256 (81), Bob Finley 237 (68), Zech Connelly 277 (92), Joe Rich 256 (78), Dustin Dolbee 718 series, Rick Bland 243 (86), and Joe Lewis with a 706 series.
   The Friday Nite Mixed League in Covington had Terry Bell rolling a 256, with a 197 average, and a 647 series. Others were Brent Durnil with a 175 (57), Darrell Edwards 235 (46), and Ron Cates 245 (51). Scottie Reinken rolled a 710 series.
   On Saturday Nites at Lincoln Lanes, McHarry’s League is alive and well. To prove that, we have Johan Pendleton rolling a 289, with 11 strikes in a row. John’s average is 176. Other high scores were Marian Foster with a 214 (64), Marvin Brandon with a 235 (59), Steve Skimehorn 264 (59), William “Mo” Morris 223 (58), and Jerome “Poo” Nelson, a 257 (58). Steve Finch rolled a 656 series while Mark “Baldy” Hillsman was slightly higher with a 657. John Pendleton also picked up the elusive 7-10 split.
