League Highlights
James Biscaino continued his honors venture, adding a 290 game (eleven in a row) to the list just two days after posting his 30th 300 game.
Biscaino had scores of 197 and 225 going into game three, where he spared in the first frame be-fore going off the sheet for the 290 while bowling in the Suburban League, where several high scores were reported.
Troy Hardin was the league’s top player for series, posting a 750 set on games of 234, 280, and 236. Tim Lundquist rolled 279, 221, and 248 for a 748, and Jeff Janssen sandwiched a 269 be-tween games of 236 and 225 for a 732.
Jim Bomboy neared a triplicate with games of 236, 244, and 244 for a 724. Biscaino finished with 712, Chad Perry started with a 276 to allow for a 706, and Matt Casey came in on the money with 700 even after starting his day with a 255.
Richard Jacoby also rolled a 750 series, his coming from the senior Entertainers League where one open per game made up the end result.
Jacoby scored 246 in game one with a 7 and 2 count in the second frame. Another 7 and 2 were recorded in frame one of game two, leading to a 258, and it looked like he was going to make it in game three without an open until the last throw. That is when the corner pin stood in defiance, leaving Jacoby with his second 246 of the day.
Mark Hill led in the TNT with 735 on games of 238, 279, and 218, followed by Billy Smith who post-ed his second 725 of the week thanks to a 278 middle game.
Chris Dickerson led in the Friday Nite Mixed Rollers with 733, including opening games of 267 and 265, followed by Jason Owen with a 705 that started off with a 267.
Clarence Weber rolled 235, 234, and 243 for the His and Hers high set of 712, and Brandon Hurta finished up with a 267 that put his series at 710 for the high set in the Tuesday Night Mixed.
A shootout on lanes 1 & 2 left Steve Mans with a 708 and Mike Peckinpaugh with a 710 in last Monday’s senior Socialites League. Mans rolled 220, 255, and 233, and Peckinpaugh shot 215, 247, and 248.
Peyton Smith continued to rule in the T-Bird Legends Youth League. Smith rolled 576 last week on games of 129, 253, and 194.
Maddox Swietek was the Oak Trees high roller with a 541, thanks to a 214 closer, and DJ Scott put a 209 together to finish up with a 521 to lead in the U12 HotShots.
Honorable mention goes to Richard Resler for bowling all three games over 100 for a season-high 320 series. Resler has an 87 average and rolled 101, 110, and 109.
