Rockpile – 2-14-2018

There must be something in the “water!!!!” Unbelievably, we’ve had six “700” series thrown this past week a the Ol’ Rockpile. Here is a list of the Keglers: Mike Wink – 707, Jordan Wink 770, Brian Casey 752, Brent Standaert, 707 and Doug Standaert with two at 705 and 701. Great job, fellas!!

We had a gal from Woodville bowl here Friday night in our 9-Pin Tournament and she rolled a 903 series. Beth Knops is on the list for the $1,000 first place prize. Beth is the first lady to bowl a 900+ series ever in the history of our Tournament. Great job, Beth!!!

Cory Levitt and Eric Dorwin each converted the very tough 4-7-10 split on the Hometown League.

Ole & Lena

Ole and Lena came upon a wishing well. Lena leaned over, made a wish, and threw in a penny.

Then Ole decided to make a wish. Ole leaned over a bit too much, fell into the well, and drowned.

Lena was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and said, “It really works!!!”
