Matt Yandek rolls to 300 game in Coke Classic League

Congrats to Matt Yandek, who had the 6th 300 game of the season in the Coke Classic League last night. It seems scoring in that league has been up this season, as I can’t remember a 300 game having been thrown in that league last season.

EDIT: In the process of counting up all the 300s shot by men in the Coke Classic League this season, I overlooked and forgot about Tina Gannon’s on the female side, so there have actually been 7 300 games in the league this season.

2010 Brockton Bowling Association city tournament, Day 2

I had to miss doubles and singles this morning due to the buses not running until close to noon, but I did make it over for the team event. A quick query of Bob Young yielded the fact that Jim Burt had a fourth 300 in this tournament today in the singles event. I watched all of the team event, which started with Bill Major coming only a stone 7 shy of a fifth 300 in the first game. When all was said and done, “Dazed and Confused” (Sean Richard, Rob Young, Jason Sherwood, and Pat Carrara) ended the tournament in first place in both the scratch and handicap team event. Congrats to these four.

Rob Young told me the unofficial standings would be online Tuesday, so I shall post a link to them then.

2010 Brockton Bowling Association city tournament recap, Day 1

I couldn’t make it down to the lanes today because of family matters, but Sean Richard gave me a recap of Day 1 of this year’s city tournament via Facebook. The tournament is being contested on the new USBC Blue oil pattern, making Westgate Lanes (I believe) the first center to use one of the color patterns in a regularly-scheduled event. Highlights of the day included 300 games by Tony Bennett and Tina Gannon in doubles, and Nate Abdow added one in singles en route to a 268-300-268=836 series. Congrats to all three on their performances.
