     LAST CHANCE!!  Only 3 days left to bowl in the Danville Hall of Fame Tourney, and it really can’t get much easier. The cost is only $10 and you bowl during your normally scheduled league time. You go up to your league secretary BEFORE you bowl, give them your money, and you are good to go.  The scores you roll during that session will be your scores for the tourney. I understand handicap will be 90% of 220. Good luck, and hope you place.

   As for bowling scores, looks as if we are starting to catch up.  I do think we have had enough snow for this winter season, so the leagues can keep up with their schedules.

   Glanced thru the reports I have received for this past week, and saw some good scores.

   Starting off with the Monday Night No Tap League, Cal Richards rolled a 268, which helped him to achieve a 716 series. Sue Strong shot a 683 series. Sara Switzer rolled 58 pins over average for a 209, Krystle Evans, 53 over for a 217, while James Fair had an explosive night.  A 131 average bowler, he rolled 124 pins over game average for a 255.

    In the MS Nail Salon League, Marilyn Ruffner topped her average by 67 pins.         

    Recent reports from the Monday morning Ladies League in Westville has Martha Hance picking up the 2-7-8 split. Alverta Maskel, a low 120 bowler, rolled games of 185, and 190.

  The Tuesday Nite Go Getters have Fred Fultz rolling 55 pins over average for a 189. Bub Tiffin had a 203, 51 over, with a 203, while Charlie Tiffin knocked out a 239 game, 84 pins over average. Ella Miller would have received a triplicate award, since she bowled 148, 3 times in her series. Deb Miller picked up the 5-7, Irv Summers the 5-6, and Martha Elliott, the 9-10.
