This seems to be the year of 300 games, or is it they are
just being reported more than in the past? Either way, there have been many
shot this bowling season. Keep up the good work.
We do have one
300 game to report, that being Sycamore Lanes’ Jerry Norwell, his very first.
He rolled the game in the Last Chance League in Covington.
Results are in
for the annual Senior State Tournament, recently held in Joliet, and as usual,
several local folks placed in the money. Placing first in the Mixed Double’s
event for class A, were Joe and Meredith Stokes. Cliff Dupree placed third in
both Class A singles, and Men’s All Events. Joe Stokes placed sixth in Men’s
All Events, Super Senior Class, while his wife Meredith placed fifth, in the
Women’s Super Senior Citizen All event’s category. In Men’s Class D, Michael
Seward placed fourth, while Allen Taylor was in sixth place. In Class D, Men’s
all events, Joe Blagg placed third, with Seward fifth, and Taylor sixth.
In the local
Senior League, Martha Elliott rolled a 203 game, 64 pins over her average. Stan
Harvey rolled 83 pins over average for a 276, and 115 over his series average
for a 694.
Both the
Lutheran and Friday Mixed Leagues had some great scores. The Lutheran League’s
Don Miller rolled 72 pins over average for a 255, and a 694 series. Leland
Black was 75 over for a 233. Rod Cox shot 50 over, for an even 200 game, while
Eric Crockett was 75 over for a 254. Wayne Brown Sr. shot a 238, 53 over, Josh
Troxtell, 54 over with a 249, and Justin Bargo finished up with 279.
In the Friday
Mixed, Bill Phillips rolled a 276 game, and a 697 series. Robert Pendleton shot
a 222, 53 over, while Dorothy McFarland bowled 53 over for a 223. Other high
scores were David Winchester 247, Jennie Kile 225, and Sandy Williams 180, 45
above her average.
Our apologies to
our next league, as I have been using the wrong name. The correct name is
MeHarry’s, which bowls Saturday nights at Lincoln. Results for MeHarry’s
consist of Jason Turner rolling 11 strikes in a row for 279 game. Demond
Watson, a 144 average bowler rolled games of 198, and 209, 54 and 65 pins over
respectively. 208 average bowler, “Poo” Nelson, rolled 2 games of 257. Bo
Shields picked up the 5-10, while Marian Foster and Steve Finch, both converted
the 6-8-10.
The DABA and
the DWBA are holding a new fundraising tournament to help cover costs for the
Hall of Fame banquet. It is starting this week and will take place during your
league play. Scores shot that night will count if you choose to enter. Entry is
$10 each time you bowl and you can bowl as many times as you want in it until
January 25. Half of the entry fee goes to the hall of fame, the other half to
the prize fund. This is handicapped at 90% of 220. Association representatives
will be at your leagues to get you signed up. Please support this event. This
is for sanctioned leagues only!!!
Also, be on the
look out for entry forms for the 77th Annual Men's City Tournament to be held
this year at Lincoln lanes. Team event will be Feb 15th and 16th and doubles
and singles will run Feb 22nd and 23rd. Entry forms will hit all houses here
real soon.
That wraps up
the reports for this week. If you are a league secretary, we would love to have
