Rockpile – 12-8-2021

We’ll look at a couple mixed doubles leaders this week!! On the Saturday Nite Live league the “Boats and Hoes” are 2 points ahead of the Standaerts going into the final night of the first half. The B & H team is made up of Chelsea Standaert, Tyler Emerson, Kinzie Flemming and Josh Kuhn.

On the Sunday Night Mixed doubles, “Petrified Wood City” is way out in front of the rest of the pack by 20.5 points. Their team consists of Bernie and Peg Obermueller and Heidi and Kent Kletscher. Brent and Doug Standaert each put up a couple of nice series last week on the Hometown league. Brent chalked up another “700” with a 710 and his cousin Doug “Wado” just missed a “700” with a 698. Great bowling fellas!!!

John Hager rolled a 686 series last week on the Town and Country league.

Leaker’s in planning an in-house team Holiday Tournament later in the month. I’ll post the dates next week!!

Ponder This:

All children need a laptop! Not a computer, but a human laptop. Moms, Dads, Grannies and Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles. Someone to hold them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next generation their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams!!! – Colin Powell
