Perry rolls top score all week long

Dale Perry took home top billing not once, but twice last week, starting with a first place finish in the Children Miracle Network fundraiser with no-tap scoring, and ending with the honor roll high game and series where it’s all about skill.

Perry’s no-tap scoring is highlighted in the news from the event but for his honor roll high series Perry rolled 279 out of the gate and backed it up with 233 and 213 to assist his team to victory in the Entertainers senior league last Wednesday afternoon with a 725 for the one and only scratch 700 last week.

Speaking of the one and only, Janice Croft led in the women’s honor roll with the sole 600 series of the week of 612, a product of the last night of the Roudy Bunch and games of 244, 200 and 168.

And our star youth bowler last week was Raiden Jenkins with a career high 628 series on games of 168, 244 and 216 bowled in the HotShot Legends at Thunderbird Lanes.

Children’s Miracle Network Event News

Bowling fundraisers have turned out to be quite successful over the years so when Anita (Mercedes) Fishbeck and Susan Sass were faced with the task of coming up with a way to raise money for their store, Wal-Mart #269, they both knew instantly what to do.

Several donations, baskets and baggies filled with goodies, along with several rolls of tickets sold, and a bowling center full of folks anxious to support such a good cause, the event went down as another success.

Dale Perry led the men with an 843 on games of 288, 277 and 278 followed by his youngest son Chad who rolled 258, 278 and 264 for 800 even.

For the ladies, Lil Johnson threw 277, 278 and 275 to take first with 830.

The rest of the field, almost 200 pins back, included Diane Frame, 660, Sue Avis, 650, Yours Truly, 648 and Kathi Keithley, 640.

At last count an estimated $2,000 was raised from the event.

A special thanks to all of the generous sponsors and to everyone who helped out.
