All season long, Dave "Wheels" Schaefer has had a respectable year of scoring. Last week, the "Wheels" were back on the tracks.
It all started in the Tuesday Metro league where Schaefer knocked down the high total of the week with a 724 series. He then followed it up with a 698 total from the Wednesday 65ers, and finished it off with another 698, this time from the Thursday 19th Hole. Overall for the nine games he averaged just short of 237 per game. Look for Schaefer to continue his hot streak in the upcoming week.
Al Vandal of the Friday Centennial racked up his high total of the year with another 698 that included a week's high game of 278.
Strong scoring continues from the WIBC side. Marilyn Cochlin put together the division high of the week with a 654 from the Happy Hour League. The same league brings forward the high weeks game of 255 by Diane Johnson. Sue Mielke rung up two 600s during her week's competition.
From the Junior Girls leagues, Amber Ryks turned in the highest total all year from any junior girl with a 667 series while competing in league roll-off in the Saturday morning league.
Bob Dahlback kept up his hot streak with another consecutive 600 total from the senior division. This week he managed a 614 series to just outdistance John Johnson's 608. Virgil Loux rolled the high game in the senior men division with a 241. Mickey Quam took top honors for the senior ladies with a 496 series and 208 game.
The Variety Cosmic Tournament was held a week ago Saturday. All the lights are turned off except the lane lights, and the music is played over the speakers. Forty-six couples participated and special prizes were awarded throughout the four game event. The event has become popular because it is a nice time to socialize with a little bit of activity, and prizes to add to the fun. Look for this event to return this year.
