Rockpile – 2-9-2016
Tracy Lawson bowled the high single game of the year last week (for the ladies) by putting a very nice 259 game up on the tote board. Lawson rolled a 564 series along with the 259 game. Good job, Tracy!!!
We had two squads of 9-pin bowlers here over the weekend also. Chris Lawson jumped out ahead in Singles with a 861 series while Chris and his wife Tracy rolled a 1648 doubles score to take the lead in doubles.
Did you happen to watch the Superbowl?? I was happy to see that Payton Manning got a “W”. I think that was Manning’s “last rodeo” as he hinted earlier last week. Cam Newton showed his true colors after the loss, he acted like a two-year-old!!! What a whiner!! (Last year after their loss to the Patriots, quarterback Russell Wilson of Seattle stepped up to the microphone and blamed himself for the loss – no excuses. Now he’s got class!!) Enough of that.
