PORT ARTHUR —  I would like to start with welcoming the bowlers back to Max Bowl now that all of the fall leagues have begun!  

 With the top series being tossed out in the Mega Money league, Branden Powell has set the bar for performance a bit on the high side.  Starting the night with a 251, he continued to throw fire as he had a 278 and finished with a 267, starting the season out with a major series of 796.  

Congratulations Branden on an excellent night of bowling!  

The lady shooting better than all the women, showing that she still has it, was Sami Jo Williams with a 237-234-683.  Good to have you back Sami Jo.  

Just like Branden and Sami Jo, all of the other mentionable scores came from the Mega Money league:  Bo Cohrt-259-245-224-728, Robert Kistner-277-226-210-713, and Rob Lowe-203-245-258-706.
