    Before we get into the high scores and good splits, I need to correct a glaring typo that I made last week.  I was talking about the Senior Tournament, being held in Freeport, Il on Oct 31-Nov 1^st, Nov 7-8^th, and Nov 14-15^th. If you are interested in bowling with a Danville contingent, you can contact Meredith Stokes during Senior League Competition on Thursday afternoons.

     I am expecting to hear from Doug Wagner from Hoopeston’s Fast Lanes. The center has several tournaments through out the year.

        Let’s get into this past week’s scores.  The Tuesday Nite Go Getters are keeping on a great track of high scoring.

    Jim Miller once again led the league with a 641 series, with games of 201, 235, and 205. Stan Harvey had a 628 series with a 253, 220, and 155.  Other high games included Ron Blagg with a 235, and 224. Michael Seward shot 99 pins over his average with a 257. He also rolled 118 pins over series average. In other action, Susan Brookins had 48 pins over with a 141. With a 188 was Jordyn Castle, 41 over average.  Melissa Castle topped her average by 45 pins with a 161 game.  Mac McDaniel rolled a 181, 50 pins over.

    The Senior League, is starting its stride with some great scores.

       Would love to see even more reports from leagues, so need to hear from the league secretaries, from Bulans, Lincoln Lanes, and Hoopeston.  Please drop me an e-mail to illianabowling@gmail.com for the info I would like, or you can connect to my facebook page, and leave me a message.
