Schmidt, Elizondo pace men, Mathison’s 621 tops women

Patti Gay bowling column for Sunday, Aug 24


As the bell tolls for the first day of school, so it does for the last days of summer, signaling the end of one bowling session and the beginning of the fall one.

Get your team ready!

Allen Schmidt edged out George Elizondo to lead all bowlers this past week. Allen threw games of 220-235 & 263, finishing with a 718 series. George, just 2 pins behind him, shot 243-247-226-716. The last 700 series was tossed by Mark Braun, rolling a 235-221-243-702.

The top lady bowler was my good friend, Connie Mathison. While competing in the Golden Oldies Summer league, Connie had 2 nice games of 212 and 246, finishing with a 621 series.
