After taking off over the summer, Russell Nauman had plenty of strikes stored up and used them on the first day of the Entertainers senior league at Thunderbird Lanes, posting his second career 700 series to top the honor roll this week.
Nauman thought that this was his first 700 but a little research showed it to be his second with a career high rolled back in May of 2021 of 716.
In this set Nauman put games of 269, 199 and 240 together to make up a show starting series of 707.
The ladies high this week came in from Andrea Halstead who started slow but put together a 247 for game three to sum up a 597 to lead the ladies, bowling the first week of the Early Birds.
