Our raucous, exuberant, fun loving Thursday County league had its championship roll-off at Orchard Lanes last week. The contest pitted the first half winners, The Munsons, against the second half winners, The Unbowlieveables. We’re not sure how they came up with their team’s name but as a Ne…

TEAM of the WEEK:

The Hood River city bowling championships were conducted at Orchard Lanes last week. It’s the premier challenge of the year for all local league bowlers and it’s been an annual happening right here in our little town for the past 70 years, how about that! To make it fair for all, the tournam…

More than 67 million people bowl in the U.S. every year and there are 1.2 million who participate in leagues. Bowling has been traced back to Egyptian times over 5,000 years ago. Those first games involved stones for pins and a stone ball to knock them down. A similar game was discovered in …

Last week our favorite plumber, Levi Phelps, rolled a 300 game in the Wednesday night Fraternal league at Orchard Lanes. Folks, for those of you who don’t know anything about bowling, 300 is the best score possible in one game; you can’t go any higher.

We are at about the mid-point in the 2021-2022 league bowling season at good old Orchard Lanes up on the Heights in beautiful Hood River. It’s a perfect time to recap our high scores and see how our top players and winning teams are doing.

The year 2021 went out like a Mike Tyson right to the jaw at Hood River’s Orchard Lanes last week. We got slammed by old man winter, which dissuaded some of our leaguers from making their scheduled weekly visit to the lanes. The seniors took it one step further and cancelled their entire lea…

We’re nearing the halfway point in this season’s league bowling up on the “Heights” at Hood River’s own Orchard Lanes. Hunting season may have recently ended but last week it looked like it was open season on big scores in the ten-pin arena. Clearly, many of our local pin busters are in mid-…

With apologies to Clement Clarke Moore:

Continuing with what we started the last time we met, here are our three ten-pin stars from last week’s bowling league action at Hood River’s venerable Orchard Lanes:

MT. HOOD — Mt. Hood Meadows opened the 2021/22 season with south-side lifts Dec. 12.

Hockey fans know that at the end of each game, three stars are announced. They skate out on the ice under rotating spotlights to thunderous applause from the crowd.

Team Nishi is going to win the first round of the Tuesday Nite Mixed league at Hood River’s Orchard Lanes. There is still a week to go in the round but Team Nishi has amassed such a lead that no one can mathematically catch them.

Numbers are important to our big-time games in the USA. Baseball has batting averages, homers, runs batted in, runs scored, and earned run averages to name a few. Football has touchdowns, yardage via pass and run, interceptions, sacks and more. Basketball has points, assists, rebounds, fouls…

As the classic song goes, “you can get anything you want at Alice’s restaurant.” The same holds true at Hood River’s Orchard Lanes in a slightly different way, all you need to do is put some work in to bowl better. Then, you will get what we all want, more strikes and more spares which will produce bigger scores. That makes us bowlers happy.

Last week it seemed like airplanes were flying in the Industrial bowling league up on the Hood River Heights at good old Orchard Lanes. Kevin Harris piloted a big, super jumbo 777 scratch series that included over 20 strikes in his three gamer. Kevin was “in the zone” racking up huge 265, 25…
