Rockpile – 9-20-2017
Brian Casey started out with a bang last week on the Town & Country league and put up the first “700” series of the year. Casey rolled a dandy 722 series.
Pete Peterson who bowls on the Hometown league came up one strike short of a perfect game and threw an awesome 288 game. Great bowling fellas!!
On the Ladies circuit, Carrie Graves put up a 198 game while Lori Klinger rolled a 182 game. Nice start, ladies!!
Well, the Green and Gold came up a bit short Sunday night to fall to the Falcons 34-23. I hope Jordy isn’t out for too long

The Train Ride
Ole and Lars were on their very first train ride, heading to Minneapolis. They had brought along bananas for lunch. Just as they began to peel them, the train entered a long dark tunnel.
“Have you eaten your banana yet?” Ole asked excitedly.
“No,” replied Lars.
“Vell don’t touch it den,” Ole exclaimed. “I yust took vun bite and vent blind!”
