Stacy emerges as high bowler (11.16.2023)
Mike Stacy was able to move past Dolee Knowlan during Monday Mixed League competition to claim the weekly high series honors. It had been a while since Stacy last earned the headline, but he had a good strike carry Monday night to lead all bowlers. He was able to produce individual games of 240, 257, and 234 for a very nice 731 set. He had only one open frame, which came in the third game, in a 26-strike performance for the night.  More . . .

Zeplin leads 700 trio (11.9.2023)
Left-hander Steve Zeplin posted the high series in Thursday Sundowners action which produced three 700 plus bowlers. More . . .
