Brian Casey put up another “700” last week on the Town and Country league. This makes 6 “700” series that Brian has chalked up this year!! Great bowling!!
We’re having the championship roll-off this week for the Hometown league. These teams are Wood City, B.F. Feeds, Anderson Funeral Home, and Melbys!!
Our 9-pin tournament will have one more crew coming in this Friday night. So far we’ve still only had one “900” bowled here for this tournament.
Ione DeSmith put up the only “900” the very first week that we started the tournament back in February. We’ll see if that score will hold up for the $1,000 first place purse!!!
Even with the covid scare, we managed to get over 400 participants in the tournament!! Watch the paper next week to see if Ione won the tournament!!!
