This week’s column is a combination of the week before Thanksgiving week and Thanksgiving week.

First there was a full schedule of bowling the week prior to Thanksgiving. Golden Oldies are in the news this week as C.J. Moity led all Senior male bowlers. C.J. hammered the lanes with games of 266, 268 and 196 for a 730 set.

Energy Country Ford/Allstate League had its share of excitement. Sami Jo Williams led all the women bowlers as she pounded the lanes with games of 258, 259 and 242 for a nice 759 set.

Barely edging Sami Jo out for this week’s top billing is George Gund. George started slowly with a 201 followed by a 267 then found his mark on 12 straight shots as he crushed the lanes with a perfect 300 game. All this added up to this week’s top honors with a 768 series.

Stars of Tomorrow had the duo of Blaine Seymour and Brandon Bertrand neck and neck for top youth honors. Blaine shoots games of 170, 213 and 249 to take top honors with a 632 set. Brandon was nearby with games of 165, 223 and 223 for a fine 611 series.

Thanksgiving week saw only one league bowling, the Valero League. Top honors go to James Moity with games of 245, 248 and 221 for a 714 series. Sami Jo led the women bowlers with a game high 246 on her way to a 647 series.

Top female senior bowler was Alanda Boldt. Alanda shot games of 177, 200 and 212 for a 589 series. To round out this week’s top bowlers had Bill White leading the Senior men. Bill had a high game 236 on his way to a 676 series.

Bowling returns to a full schedule this week at The Max. This columnist hopes everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and wishes everyone has a safe holiday season.

Until next week, good bowling. …
