On our Retro Bowling Shirt night….see pics. League members donned their best vintage bowling shirts from years past as they took the lanes Wednesday night at Bowl-A-Vard. Some of the best shirts were Secretary-Treasurer Terry Teasdale with a 70’s Silver Dollar Tavern on W. Main bright orange shirt….that gave Cosgrove Construction’s fluorescent lime green shirts that they wear today a run for their money. Greg Hafenstein wore his grandfather Ed’s shirt from the Tip Top Bar from Waterloo. Ricky Thaden wore his uncle Stan Thaden’s Reserve Beer shirt Stan had the record for the MBA for high series for many years and moved to Chicago to bowl for a brewery sponsored team. It was great to see so many vintage shirts and we’ll do this again.
The other highlight was Ian Martin of E-Z Pickens in a bright red Oberlin College bowling shirt rolling his 1st 700 ever a 708 and a career high game of 289! Ian was +174 pins over his average. Way to go Ian!!!
Dakota Wiltrout of Kingpins had the front 9 in the 1st game for a 279.
Our whole Lake City league of ten 5 man teams will be bowling an MBA City squad on Jan. 12. How about other large leagues joining us in the Budweiser sponsored League Challenge portion of the City Tourney? You ONLY need eight 5 man teams for a squad to qualify for a new free Motiv ball for squad organizers. For a basic cost of one night of league bowling $20/team event you can bowl to see how your team stacks up against other leagues and teams in the MBA. All handicapped off of 100% of 230 plus you use your composite average for all games bowled in multiple leagues not high book as in State. Budweiser League Challenge explained here.
