    The last contingent of Seniors bowled in the State Senior Tournament in Freeport, Il this past weekend, so they are just waiting for the final tally.

     Please remember, if you are hosting a local tourney, please let me know a couple of weeks in advance, and then send me the final results right after the tourney ends, so I can publish the results in the paper.
