Bowling Oct 24, 2013

No special reports this week that I am aware of, so let’s get right into our League submissions.

   George Gouard rolled 87 pins over his average for a 278 game, and a 693 series in the Monday Nite No-Tap League. Others bowling 50 or more pin above their averages were Cal Richards 269 (87), Jimmy Scruggs 253 (67), Albert Syass 210 (57, and McKenna Smith 184 (78). Sue Strong topped out with a 636 series.

         The Monday Morning Ladies League in Westville reports that Phyllis Rhutan picked up the 4-7-10.

    The Tuesday Nite Go Getters had some great games with the following: Sandy West 177 (61) and 465 series (117), Laura Wright 482 series (117), and Joe Blagg 233 (54). Split conversions: Tracy Smith 3-4, and 6-7-10, and Joe Blagg, 3-6-7-10.

    On Danville’s west side, the TLC League at Bulans has recorded the following bowlers with 50 or more pins over average this past week: Stephen Forshier 220, and Don Coan rolled games of 269, 235, and 248 for a 752 series.

    High rollers for the Senior League are Jim Thomas 214 (52), Pam Jeffers 195 (64), Joe Stokes 193 (58), John Ramsey 227 (57), Darlene Edwards 158 (52), and Houston Key 215 (52). Split conversions were Dot McDaniel the 4-5-7 and Joe Stokes with the 9-10.

   Your writer had the pleasure of subbing with a team on the Friday Nite Mixed League consisting of Rod Golden, and Steve and Tina Zaayre. I was subbing for Rod’s wife, Marla.  Thanks guys. While there, was told that Dustin Dalby converted the Big 4 split, and Eric Crockett picked up the 2-4-6-10.

    In Hoopeston, the Fast Lanes Bowling Center had Marvin Dobkins rolling a high game of 237 and a high series of 647 this past Sunday Nite. Leslie Hardcastle rolled a 195, with a 545 series. Then on Thursday nite, Chad Bruens rolled a 279 with a 760 series, while Bob Hamilton had a 248 game with a 666 series on the Friday Nite League. Remember, this coming Sunday, starting at 11 am, there will be a Bowlers Choice tournament. They will also be having a spaghetti fundraiser.

    Across the state line in Covington in the Friday Nite League had the following bowlers rolling 50 or more pins over average: Gary Edmiston 200 (57), Judy Gebhart 189 (51), Roger Gossett 213 (64), Jim Hensley 204 (58), Dewaine Bowling 190 (60), Christina Mikel 157 (52), and Katrina Edwards with a 242 (56).

  Being finished with the League results for this past week, please allow me to get back on my soap box once again. If you will remember, I was asking a couple weeks ago, what value the USBC is to us, the normal Joe Bowler.  It has come to my attention that starting next year, the local associations will be responsible for buying the awards that are given to the bowlers. I would hazard a guess that there are many groups that cannot afford this added expense.

   I do know, that both the Danville Men’s Association, as well as the Women’s Association, want to do the best they possibly can for their members, but how will this added expense affect them?

That wraps up the reports for this week. If you are a league secretary, we would love to have your league reports. Drop me an e-mail message to illianabowling@gmail.com

Miller Rolls His 5th Perfect game Oct 17, 2013

Here we go again. Yet again, another youngster, rolling a 300 game. These guys make it look so easy. This time, it was former Danville resident, Jim Miller. Now, a resident of Mahomet, it was his 5th perfect game.     

   Some of you might have been scratching your heads the past couple of weeks with how I was reporting the games 50 or more pins above their averages. Very simple, the 1st number would be their game, then, the 2nd number in parenthesis would be the number of pins actually over.

   A Couple’s No Tap tournament will be held this coming Saturday at noon, at the Westville Legion Bowling Center. Handicap is set at 90% of 220. If you have no average, you will be bowling scratch. Cost is $40 and there is a limit of the 1st 10 couples paid. Contact Doug Oakes at 304-4735.

   The Monday Night No Tap League’s Pam Jones rolled the high game for the week with a 253,  80 pins over her average. Other bowlers achieving 50 or more pins over were: Shirley Perryman 235 (55), Terry Jones 232 (55), Krystle Evans 229 (64), Karen Lane 186 (84), and McKenna Smith 160 (55).

    The Monday Morning Ladies League in Westville reports that Mary Seilhymer bowled a 173 (52).

    The Tuesday Nite Go Getters had some great games with the following: Mac McDaniel 193 (50), Joe Elliott 177 (50), Charles Tiffin 202 (65), and 536 series (125), Dot McDaniel 173 (58), and Cheryl Rhoton 191 (56). Two difficult spare conversions were made. Bub Tiffin with the 2-9 and Houston Key with the 4-7-10.

    High rollers for the Senior League are Terry Bell with a 269 (74), and Ernie Harvey had a 221 (50). Impressive split pickups included Sue Strong with the 6-7, Dot McDaniel 4-5, and Joe Stokes with the 5-6.

     The Thursday Night Lutheran League is telling us that Donnie Cheeseman had a 726 series and that Bill Reik had a 280 game. Others were Austin Paxton with a 269 (83), and Shelly Henry 204 (72).

     For McHarry’s League, we have the following results:  On October 5th, Steve Finch 247 (64)and a 700 series (247, 237, 216), Jason Turner with a707 series (227, 256, 224), Robin Turner 683 series (223, 237, 223), Terrence Tetter 202 (50), and David Winchester 279 (78) and a 728 series 279, 205, 244.

    Fast Lanes in Hoopeston is alerting us that their Youth League is coming up with some great scores. High scores for this week were Mercy Linder with a 216 game. Wes Raven had games of 225 and 223, with a series of 537. Not bad for a 12 year old.

   The Sunday Night Mixed League, Geoffrey Berlin led the way with a 267 game and a 726 series. Deb Dillman had a 200 game, while Jessica Dobkins rolled a 506 series. The Monday Nite Ladies League had Laurie Wisdom with a 244 game, and Jessica Dobkins with a 237 game and a 657 series. Susan Goble 212 (61). The Will Bruen’s Thursday Nite League has Porgy Anderson and Jay Ferdinand with 278 games, and Anderson with a 741 series. Ferdinand Construction set the pace with a 982 scratch game and a 2722 4 man scratch series. Brandon Hamilton had a 279 game and a 751 series to lead the Friday Nite Mixed League. That was 5 weeks in a row for a 700 series. Karen Porth had a 256 game, and a 614 series.

That wraps up the reports for this week. If you are a league secretary, we would love to have your league reports. Drop me an e-mail message to illianabowling@gmail.com

Kevin West rolls 36th Perfect Game

   How easy is it to roll a perfect game? I would venture to say most of us would say it is very difficult. There are some among us that make it look very easy. Danville bowler Kevin West who bowls on the Illinois-Missouri Traveling League has bowled not once, not twice, but 36 perfect games.  All I ask, is that I be granted 1 perfect game in my life time.  Maybe for a Christmas present?  Congrats Kevin.

   I would like to hear from all area bowlers who have rolled 1 or more perfect games. Drop me an e-mail and let me know your total.

   I have a question that I would like for you to think about. Why do many of us bowl in a sanctioned League?  The reason I hear the most is so that we can bowl in tournaments.  My response is why do the tournaments sanction with the USBC?  What does the USBC really do for the average Joe bowler?  They used to give out patches for many different achievements, such as so many pins over averages and series, triplicate games, Dutch 200’s, All Spare Games, the Big 4, and the 7-10 splits. Not any more. Very few awards are given out anymore, and there are no patches, but key chains, magnets, or a pin to use on your shirt.   

    My question for you, is again, why do we as bowlers continue to support an organization that does not seem to really do anything for us?

    In the Monday Night no tap league Sharon Craft rolled a 657 series.  The following bowlers outscored their averages by at least 50 pins. Nancy Goodner 245 (66), George Gouard (59), Jimmy Scruggs 244 (59), Kenny Smith 216 (59), Terry Jones 218 (53), and Devin Heinrichs 202 (60).

    The Tuesday Nite Go Getters welcomed Mike Heuer and his wife Lisa to the league. Mike wasted no time getting in the groove. The other nite he rolled a 290 game, which was 120 pins over his average, and 167 pins over his series average for a 677. His 2nd game was 246, 76 over. By the way, that 290 game was 11 strikes in a row. Lisa Moudy also had a fantastic game. With an average of 132, she knocked out a 243, which helped her achieve a 551 series. Other Go Getters who rolled at least 50 pins over average or 100 pins over series were:  Laura Wright 199 (81), Di Summers 167 (58), Sue Strong 571 (100) and Jordyn Castle 167 (64). Derek Darr picked up the 6-7 split.

    Out west on 150, the Tuesday Nite League at Bulans had 160 average bowler Leslie Miller rolling games of 206 and 256, for a 659 series, while Tina Zaayer rolled a 200 game, 38 pins over average. Jerry Nixon closes out this league report with a 227 game, with a 165 average.

     Doug Wagoner from Fast Lanes in Hoopeston is now back with us, and here is his report:  Here are some scores from up here in Hoopeston. On the Monday Night Ladies League, Laurie Wisdom led the way with a fine 244- 657 series followed by Jennifer Crawley's 222 and 654 series. The Will Bruens Mens City League was led by The Ferdinand Construction team who had scratch games of 982 & 968 on the way to a 2722 scratch series. Porgy Anderson and Jay Ferdinand lead the way with 278 games and Porgy's 741 series. On the Friday night mixed League Brandon Hamilton leads the way with a 279 and 751 series. Karen Porth led the ladies with a 256 and 614 series. Deb Hamilton had a fine 236, (167 average). The Sunday night mixed is led by Todd Rush and Geoffery Berlin with 257 games and Berlin's 726 series. Deb Dillman leads the ladies with a 200 and Jessica Dobkins has a 506 set.  The Youth League has Chet Stock bowling a fine 225 and Wes Ravens 223 and Mercy Linder leading the girls with a fine 216 game, and sister Jaylen having a 487 series. Fast Lanes will have a 7-8-9- Pin Tournament SATURDAY OCTOBER 12 starting at 7:00pm. Cost is $20.00. Then on Sunday OCTOBER 27, starting at 11:00 is the Bowlers Choice handicapped tournament for both men and women.

  We have the following bowlers in the Senior League either rolling 50 or more pins over average or more than 100 pins over series average: Stan Harvey 268 (77), Bill McDaniel 209 (6), Gerald Arnett 209 (68), 561 (138), Terry Bell, Jr. 269(79), 675 (105).  Aaron Williams 197 (83) 444 (102) Arnett also rolled an All Spare Game.

   Traveling east to Covington and Sycamore Lanes, the Friday Nite League had the following with 50 or more over: Jim Hensley 204 (66), Dewaine Bowling 174 (50), and Katrina Edwards 232 (51).

      That wraps up the reports for this week. If you are a league secretary, we would love to have your league reports. Drop me an e-mail message to illianabowling@gmail.com

Bowling

By Tuck Miller

        

    If you are a league secretary, we would like to encourage you to submit reports with us each week. Deadlines are Tuesday nites at midnight. My goal is to recognize our league bowlers with their accomplishments during the bowling year.

     The Monday Night no tap league is rolling right along, and are reporting some great scores. First off, J.R. Scruggs knocked out a 300. Sharon Craft rolled a 257, with a 661 series. Nancy Goodner rolled 86 pins over average with a 254. Jimmy Scruggs knocked out  a 246 game, and Larry Craft scored a 231.

         The Tuesday Nite Go Getters welcomed Jordyn Castle to this year’s league. Jordyn is new to the sport and is starting to increase his average, so he was elated when he rolled 60 pins over his 97 average for a 157. Congrats Jordyn. Irv Summers rolled a 213, 68 pins over.

   While your writer was bowling at Lincoln Lanes this past Tuesday, it was announced that Derreck Hufford had just rolled a 300. You should remember that name, as this his is 7th 300 game of his bowling career.

  Don’t let the Senior League fool you. They are actually trying very hard, and succeeding on rolling some high scores to keep up with the younger folks. For example, John Gebhart rolled 89 pins over his average to finish with a 255, while Allen Taylor hit a 213, 63 pins over, and also topped out with a 585 series, 135 pins over his normal series average. Let’s not forget about Martha Elliott, who rolled a 498 series, 111 pins over series, while Sue Broderick was 57 pins over norm with a 193 game.

   Some great scores were submitted from the Friday nite League in Covington. You might recognize some names. Beth Barnes bowled a 211 which was 79 over her 132 avg. Kevin Barnes bowled a 267 which was 94 over his 173 average and had 647 series 184-196-267. Aaron Howard bowled a 210 which was 54 over his average. Steven Jones bowled a 247 which was 79 over and a 579 series 147-185-247. Ted Pearman bowled a 225 for 51 over, while Bill Shoaf bowled a 215 which was 56 over his 159 norm. Jon Dunavan knocked out a 255 which was 82 over his 173 average and a 607 series 176-255-176. Mike Dunavan bowled 206-200-200 for a 606 series. Darrell Edwards bowled a 179-203-232 for a 614 series with a 204 average.

    Some great scores also coming from McHarry's Bowling League. They were Shirley Perryman average of 145, she bowled a 203. Elisa Pendleton bowled a 179. John Pendleton rolled a 212. Jerome Nelson Jr. knocked out a 238 while Steve Finch bowled a 243. All these scores were at least 50 or more pins above averages.

   Sorry to say, to conserve space, I cut out all spare conversions. Keep sending them in tho, as I may need to include them.

   That wraps up the reports for this week. If you are a league secretary, we would love to have your league reports. Drop me an e-mail message to illianabowling@gmail.com

Sept 19, 2013

I do believe that all leagues are now in full swing. If you are a league secretary, we would like to encourage you to submit reports with us each week. Deadlines are Tuesday nites at midnight. My goal is to recognize our league bowlers with their accomplishments during the bowling year.

     The Monday Night no tap league has gotten started, and did submit a report this last week. It is shorter than normal; because they are short at least 4 teams. If you enjoy bowling this would be a good league to start off with. If you have never played the no tap game, it is a lot of fun. Scott Cunningham rolled a 703 series. Joanie Hedlund rolled 58 pins over average for a 230 game. Albert Syass rolled a 198 game, 53 pins over average, and Nancy Goodner picked up the 4-7-9 split.

       The Tuesday Nite Go Getters are starting to pick up as their new averages are starting to stabilize. John Mikel rolled 60 pins over average to top out with a 215. Harlie Hucklebie was 57 pins over for a 175. Bowling 84 pins over average was Dan Wright with a 245 game. With that he was 109 pins over his 483 series. Tracy Smith finished off the evening with a 213, 66 pins above this year’s average. No split pickups were reported.

      The Senior League had some great scores this week. Ed Reed shot a 224 game, 62 pins over average, while Joe Blagg rolled 51 pins over, for a 231. Margo Johnson was 50 pins over average with a 179. Sue Strong was on fire with a 236 game and a 568 series. She was 84 pins over game and 112 pins over series. Joe Stokes was 63 over for a 183 game, and 131 pins over series for a 491. Dorothy Hesler had a 191 game, 56 pins over her normal game average. She also had a 199. Rolling a 539 series gave her 134 pins above. Allen Taylor finished up the great scoring with a 570 series, 162 pins over average, while rolling a 247 game, 111 pins above his norm. John Gebhart did pick up the 5-6-10 split.

    Coming aboard this week is McHarry's Bowling League at Lincoln Lanes, Saturday Night at 5 PM. The fall season started September 7, 2013, with 10 teams. George Gourd (Senior Club) bowled the 1st 10 strikes on a way to a 285, his highest ever series of 712. Joe Lewis bowled a 279 game, to a series high, 732. Teddy Carter (Senior Club) bowled a high game, 267 while Jason Turner bowled 268, 243, 239 with a series of 750. Robin Turner bowled a high game, 245, with Kevin Vahlewald (Senior Club) rolling a high game, 278.

     It came over the loud speaker at Lincoln Lanes, that Steve Skimehorn rolled a 300 game. Congrats Steve.

   That wraps up the reports for this week. If you are a league secretary, we would love to have your league reports. Drop me an e-mail message to illianabowling@gmail.com

Bowling

By Tuck Miller

         

    Bowling season is back. Actually, some leagues started before Labor Day, and of course many started after wards.  One league, I would like to bring to your attention, is the No Tap League, Monday Nites, in the Annex, 6:30 pm at Lincoln Lanes. They would like to have at least 2 more teams join them, but 4, would be even better. If you are interested in joining, head down to Lincoln lanes on Monday nites.. Maybe you can get 3 more people to join you as a team.

    League results will be coming right along, but would like to make a suggestion to make it easier for both the secretaries and bowlers of the leagues. If you have been bowling for a while, you will know that when you bowl for the 1^st  series of the new season, you are establishing a new average. That average could be low or even high, depending on how the bowler fares for that day. Here is an easy way to make that 1^st week, and even a couple there after a bit more stable.  Have a rule in your league bylaws that state that last year’s average will be used for the 1^st 3 weeks. After that time period, you will use the earned average that you have achieved during that 3 week time frame. Of course, if a bowler did not bowl in the previous league, their average would have to be decided in the 1^st 3 games rolled of the season.

     As we get started with this week’s column, I would like to thank the people who send me in reports, so I have something to tell you each week. Here they are, in no particular order:  Laura Baird, Bill McDaniel, Joe Stokes, Don Coan, Doug Wagner, Georgia Seward, Nancy Goodner, Linda Chittick, and Rose Schaeffhold

    The Tuesday Nite Go Getters are first with their reports for the year, with Bill McDaniel reporting for the past 2 weeks. Dick Lamb rolled a 213, which was 69 pins over last year’s average. Houston Key had progressive games of 135, 136, and 137. A bowler actually got an award (patch) for this, back in the day.  Maggie Birge rolled a 215, 64 over her last years average, and was 99 pins over her last years series average with a 552. Split pickups were as follows:  Harl Miller with the 5-7, Fred Fultz and Charlie Tiffin with the 5-10.  Martha Elliott was unable to get the ball between the 9-10, resulting in her taking down the pair of pins. Lacee Darr and Jan Frank both picked up the 2-10, with Dot Miller picking up the 3-9-10. Tuck Miller converted the 4-5-7.   

      The Senior League started off in an unconventional method, with your’s truly throwing a ball straight in the gutter for his very 1^st ball of the season competition. High scores for the past couple of weeks were Linda Engle with 75 pins over her game average with a 181.  Meredith Stokes was 52 pins over her game average with a 181.  Joe Blagg was 64 pins over, with a 215, and 148 pins over his series total with a 601. Dot McDaniel had a 140 game, 53 pins over her game average.  She also had a 157, 70 pins over average, while she bowled 169 pins over her series total.  Marion Johnson bowled a 179 game, 72 pins over his average.  Jack Ball rolled a 192 game which was 63 pins over.  On the 29th of Aug. Linda Engle bowled 104 pins over her series total. Split conversions for the league were Aaron Williams, Pam Jeffers, Stan Harvey and Sue Broderick picking up the 5-7.   Jack Ball, John Gebhart and Shirley Lamm picked up the 5-10.   Tuck Miller and Barb Smith, the 4-5.  Ernie Harvey, the 4-5-7.  John Ramsey picked up the 5-7 and the 2-4-10. Darlene Edwards knocked out the 3-8-10.  Allen Taylor met the challenge, and converted the 4-7-10, while Bill McDaniel blew apart the 3-6-7-10. Clara Copsy picked up the 5-6. Laura Baird picked up the 5-6, Jan Frank the 3-6-7-10, Stan Harvey the 2-10 and Shirley Lamm the 5-10. 

    The Friday nite League in Covington is telling us that Mike Dunavan had a 256 game and a 611 series. Darrell Edwards rolled a  632 series and Terry Bell finished with a 609 series.

    Let’s get back to Thursday nites where the Lutheran League bowls and Georgia Seward is now reporting.  Greg Black rolled a 298 game, with a 743 series. Jason Woodworth had a 280 game, and Kyle Siratt finished up with a 714 series. Also bowling some great high scoring games were Don Cheesman 269, Cliff Dupree  267, Derrick Hufford 267 and  Steve Skimehorn with a 776 series.

   That wraps up the reports for this week. If you are a league secretary, we would love to have your league reports. Drop me an e-mail message to illianabowling@gmail.com

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

         Last call…..last call….. the City Senior Tourney is still scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, April 27 & 28^th. That is THIS weekend.  There are still openings, and would love to see this tourney packed out. If you are 50 years of age or over, you qualify. This is a handicap tourney, and your last year’s average will be used to determine how much handicap you will get. 1^st 3 games will be bowled at Bulans, with the last 3 being rolled at Lincoln Lanes.  The top 5 bowlers at the end of play at Lincolns will compete in a step ladder roll off to determine this year’s champion. Come on out and join us.

     The Monday Nite No-Tappers at Lincoln Lanes are submitting their last report of the fall/winter season. Terry Jones rolled a 730 series including a 265 game. Sharon Craft topped out with a 638 series, while Karen Hoskins bowled a 646 series, which included a 240 game. Other No Tappers achieving 50 or more pins over average were Mike Jett with a 235, 51 pins over his 181 norm. Robbie Ketcherside rolled a 264, 50 pins over. Joe Davis was also 50 pins over with a 244. Leean Palmer also rolled a 240, which was 96 pins over, while Pam Jones had a 230, 64 pins over her 166 average. Mallory Buss shot a 193, 62 pins over, Essie Syass was 53 over with a 189.  This year’s league Champions were the Pretty Boys, consisting of Miles Clark, Mike Jett, Brock Dieu, Matt Myers and Rick Goben (alternating), and Robbie Ketcherside. Submitting the reports each week was Nancy Goodner.

     No report from the Monday Morning Ladies League in Westville, however Laura Baird did the submittals, and we thank her for that.  This year’s championship team was Phylar Collectibles, consisting of Martha Hance, Martha Hargan, Phyllis Rutan, and Alicia Rouse. Also from time to time, we heard from Don Coan and the Tuesday Nite League at Bulans, and Doug Wagner in Hoopeston. Thanks gentlemen for your help.

    Speaking of Bulans, the Monday Nite Mixed league rolled their final frames of the season. Rachel Watkins had 62 pins over her average of 129 as she bowled a 191. Bruce Shepherd rolled a 204, 58 ins over, while Connie Williams finished out with a 211, 59 pins over her average. Cindy’s Big Rascals, consisting of Nick Grubb, Evan Davis, Brent Honn and Kevin Bennett, were declared this year’s league champions. Thanks to Linda Chittick for her reports.

    The Tuesday Nite Go Getters are next, with Bill McDaniel reporting. Charlie Tiffin rolled a 207, 59 pins over average. Houston Key picked up the 4-5, Di Summers the 5-6, Dick Lamb the 2-10 and Bub Tiffin with the 5-7. Now, in the hard to believe category, some guy named Tuck Miller, also picked up the 5-7, and the 2-5-7, and even rolled a 214 game, 70 pins over average. It was also roll off nite for the Go Getters where the 1^st half winners Wolf Creek rolled against the 2^nd half winners Yard Store. Wolf Creek was declared the league winners. Team members include, Joe and Martha Elliott, Laure Baird, and brothers Greg and Tuck Miller.

       The Senior League champs were Safe Water, with the following team members: Keith Carter, Shirley Lamm, Martha Elliott, Phil Stultz, and Stan Harvey. Other bowlers 50 or more pins over were Bill McDaniel with a 222, 73 pins over, Clara Copsey had a 182, 61 pins over, while Stan Harvey finished up with a 244 game, 63 pins over. Reporters for the Senior League were Joe and Meredith Stokes.

     Checking in for one last time, were both Friday Nite Leagues. First Covington is telling us that The Brew Crew was this year’s champions, with a team made up of Jessica Barnes, Kevin Barnes, Beth Barnes and Rose Schaeffhold.  Rose was our on the spot gal.

     Now, heading back west on 74 to Danville, the Lincoln Lanes group’s year end champions are Pop’s Gang.  The “gang” is made up of Georgia Seward, Butch Sanders, Larry Richards Sr., Teresa Cloyd, and Terrence Cloyd. A shout goes out to Jennifer Kile for all her help this year.  I sure hope I have not overlooked anyone.

    Well, as you may have already figured out, this fall/winter season has now come to an end. We should start up again towards the end of August, more likely, the 1^st week in September. I would like to thank you, the bowlers. If it weren’t for you, I would have nothing to write about.

  Yes, we will try and submit a short paragraph about the Senior tourney this weekend, so be watching for that, as well as any other short bowling alerts.

    We wish each of you and you families a great summer, and maybe, we will see you out and about.

   Until next fall, let’s have fun and knock ‘em down.
