September 11, 2014

    If you are reading this, it means the bowling season for 2014-2015 has now started. Started it has, and with a bang.
     Hoopeston’s Fast Lanes bowling Center is only their 2nd week of bowling, but Brandon Hamilton, bowling in the Will Bruen’s League, rolled a 300 game in his 1st game, and followed that up with a 733 series. Randy Hiltz then followed that up with a 290 after leaving a 7 pin in the first frame.
   Doug Wagoner bowled a 702 with games of 231,237,234. CISSN Park bowlers are finding the line as Doug Bauer bowled a 253 and Dean Kregel a 234. On the Sunday night mixed league Johnny Lowe led he way with a 246 game and 663 series. On the Monday night ladies league it was Jennifer Crawley leading the way with a 2276 and 546 series followed by Linda Van Burke with a 215. Fast Lanes will post their tournament dates for the 7-8-9 pin mixed doubles starting October 11 at 7:00pm   
    Speaking of 300’s, I know for a fact that Ron Blagg rolled two 300 games during the summer season.  My mom, Shirley Miller, also rolled a 300 in the Senior League’s 1st session on August 21st.  Only problem, it was a 300 series, spot on.
   Now, on to the leagues reporting for this week. We do have a few that are still missing, and hopefully they will start submitting soon.
   Did you know they have a bowling alley in the Legion on State St? Monday mornings in Westville they have a group of ladies that bowl at the Legion, and this past week there were a few split conversions. Judy Mariage picked up the 3-9-10, while both Nicole Waterman and Sandy Taylor knocked out the 5-10.
     The ladies from the MS Nail Salon League at Lincoln Lanes have started off well, with team Magic rolling a high scratch game of 649, and a high series of 1892.  A week later the Magic rolled 642 scratch game, and a 1847 scratch series.  The Holy Rollers bowled a high handicap game of 706 and a high handicap series of 1945. One week Donna Rayhel rolled a 199, and a 539 series by Sue Strong.  The next week Ann Minnette shot a 200, and Strong a 199.
   The Tuesday Nite Go Getters had 2 high games the 1st week, with Laura Baird, with 53 pins over, and Ray Rogers with a 256 game.  Martha Elliott converted the 5-6-10.
    Heading over to the Thursday afternoon Senior League the past couple of weeks, the following took place:  Ron Blagg rolled a 237, and Jack Taylor shot a 539 series. Terry Bell topped out with a 670. Sue Strong rolled 60 pins over her average with a 202, and 112 pins over series, while Tuck Miller was 108 pins over series average.  Last week, Bob Coburn bowled a 177 game, 53 over, Ron Blagg, 54 over average with a 223, and Ron Candido with a 245, 54 over pin average.
   Recent split conversions were Ernie Harvey with the 4-5-7, Judy Gebhart and Meredith Stokes with the 5-7, and Miller with the 6-7-10.
   Many leagues are still looking for bowlers, and even people who are willing to sub from time to time. If you are interested, I would suggest stopping by one of the local centers, and asking the people behind the desk if they know of any vacancies, or even if they have a waiting list.  You might even stop by during the bowling sessions, and talk with the league officials.  Being a secretary, and past President myself, I know that having people on a waiting list, to either replace a bowler, or have a substitute for the night, is a great thing to have.
   Yes, we are missing some of the leagues from last year, and are looking forward to their reports the next couple of weeks.
