Congrats to Papa’s for clinching first quarter honors on the Thursday Nite Ladies League. They beat out Obermueller Trucking II by 8 points.
Peg Heutmaker has the high average on that league with a 154, while Karla Obermueller is next in line with a 153. Gloria Leverty converted the tough 5-7-9 split last Thursday Nite also.
We have a tie on the Hometown League as we go into the last week of the quarter. My Leaker’s Place team is all knotted up with East Bay Lodge. Good luck to both teams!!
Results: Next week!!
Derek Wink rolled five strikes in a row – a 5-Bagger – for the first time in his young bowling career. Good job, Derek!

Golfing with false teeth
A couple of old guys were golfing when one mentioned that he was going to go to Dr. Steinberg for a new set of dentures the next morning.
His elderly buddy remarked that he, too, had gone to the very same dentist two years before.
“Is that so?” asked the first old guy. “Did he do a good job?”
The second oldster replied, “Well, I was on the golf course yesterday when a guy on the next fairway hooked a shot. The ball must have been going at least 180 mph when it slammed me right in my groin.”
The first old guy was confused and asked, “What does that have to do with your dentures?”
“It was the first time in two years my teeth didn’t hurt.”
