Nov. 4 league standings update

As the issue with BowlSK is still unresolved (with Hurricane Sandy having a good deal to do with that), here were my week’s scores: 224, 188, and 176 for a 588 series.

My team took just the third game from “Split Happens,” and “Spare Parts” now sit in a tie for 7th with “The Incredibowls,” seven points behind “Dee’s Boys III,” who lead “There’s 3 and 2” and the aforementioned “Split Happens” by two points. My team’s bowling in the coming week will be for position, as we’re scheduled against “The Incredibowls.”

Ryan Yelle wins 2nd BBA Bowler of the Year title; Jeff Carter throws 300

Finally posting to my blog after an exciting day of bowling in the Brockton Bowling Association’s Bowler of the Year tournament.

First, during qualifying, Jeff Carter provided the fireworks with a perfect game. I should mention at this point that I recently bought an HTC EVO V 4G smartphone (the repackaged EVO 3D for Virgin Mobile), and, using the built-in camera, I was able to get video of Jeff’s last strike, which I then posted to the association’s Facebook page, the first of what I hope will be many posts to the page from my new phone.

In the end, however, it was Ryan Yelle who came away with the title, becoming the first two-time Bowler of the Year, after defeating Bob Hamilton in the final match by a score of 194-184. The stepladder finals got off to a dramatic start when Hamilton tied Chuck Gerlach at 214, sending the match to a 9th and 10th frame roll-off, won by Bob 40-27. Bob then defeated Nate Abdow to get into the final match. A photo of Ryan and Bob after the match is also on the association Facebook page.

The association will have a more detailed recap on our website soon.
