Perry shoots fifth 300 game

Chad Perry had a good night bowling in last Monday’s Early Birds at Thunderbird Lanes, putting together a 770 series on games of 246, 300 and 224.

Perry said that a couple of mistakes cost him an 800 series but it was one of those ‘it was there’ kind of nights.

The string of before and after strikes was not reported but we are certain quite a few strikes sur-rounding that middle game of 300 that was Perry’s fifth career perfect score.

Adult Highlights

Jeff Bowman was another bowler to find his groove, posting a 742 in the Guys and Dolls on games of 265, 232 and 245.

The dynamic husband/wife duo of Tyler and Amanda Price led in TNT action where hubs went 256, 246 and 234 for a 736 and wifey rolled 223, 235 and 264 for a 722, topping the ladies charts.

Troy Hardin held up the His and Hers’ with a 734 series with games of 233, 266 and 235 and Robert Lawson tipped the scale at 717 to lead in the Tuesday Night Mixed where he rolled 254, 216 and 247.

Michael Gillian busted the 700 marker at 710 on games of 237, 227 and 246 for the Goodyear high series and honorable mentions this week go to the following.
