The year 2017 went out with a bang for Jeff Miller and Lynn Spellman, as both notched perfect 300 games in bowling league action at Hood River’s Orchard Lanes. Both pin busters are among the elite keglers in town and both have resumes that include multiple perfectos.
Jeff’s pro-style slants found the range in the hot-shot Wednesday night Fraternal league and smooth Mr. Spellman went off the sheet in the Thursday afternoon senior Lads and Lassies league.
Jeff topped Lynn in the three game scratch series department by only a mark, 734 to 723.
The Fraternal has seen a plethora of tall totals lately — mighty Casey Barker racked up a nifty scratch 721; 124 pins over his average, postman Bryan Mason completed a special delivery scratch 704 series and Electronic Assemblers prez Bill (Big Bender) Pullum returned to his all-star form with a cool scratch of 701.
It’s a big order to top this quintet, but hot on their heels is newcomer Austin Dehart, who continues to improve by leaps and bounds. Austin fired a sharp scratch 684 set in the Fraternal that was a whopping 174 pins over his average, tops in league action.
Here’s to more spectacular bowling in 2018 and Happy New Year, everybody!
