Simovich best bowler, hits 200 Team Won Lost
Don’t you just love when someone complains about how badly they have been bowling, and then the next week they do so well they become Bowler of the Week? That is exactly what happened to Essie Simovich. With only two open frames in the first game, Essie had a fabulous 168. In her high game for the night, she had a turkey and opened in the 10th for a 200. Essie doubled up on spares for a 144 to close out the night with her third over-average game.
The Rockettes were down to two against Spare Us. Sherri Surozenski had double spares and strikes for a 167 in the first game. Sue Klenawicus and Ellie Labrozzi both went Dutch and landed in the 150s. Momma P. added 23 pins to her average to take the first game for Spare Us. Sherri injured her knee and couldn’t reach her average for the last two games. ‘Ette Captain Lynn Kay Winters decided she needed to take lessons from super bowler Marge from Nebraska. Cheryl Pensa has been absent for a while and returned with a bang. Cheryl had five spares in a row, and only opened in the 10th for a 190. Sue was right behind her with two pairs of strikes and a pair of spares for a 176. In the last game, Ellie had a high of 160, while Liz Lechmanski and Cheryl topped out with 123 and 167 respectively.
The Lucky Strikes had a 9-mark lead against the Fabulous Five but were missing three bowlers. Alison Bevilaqua and Erica Tome were hovering around their averages in the first game. Fab Norma Edwards lent Essie a hand with 7 extra pins. Alison and Erica made more pins fall in the second game, but Donna Cass and Jackie Brewer had even more pin action. Donna had a poult and a Dutch set for a 155, while Jackie had 5 spares at the end for a 160. Erica had a third over-average score as did Alison with 109 and 108 respectively. Donna matched Essie’s 144 in the last game. Jackie had two open frames for a 168. Fabulous Five won the last game by 6 pins, and took all 11 from the Lucky Strikes.

Paint Linda Springer had two pairs of spares and a pair of strikes in the second game for a 150. PbN Donna Clark was all about strikes with three open frames for a 156.
