Halloween Jackpot Bowling is Friday at Hi-Line Lanes

Marlene Pizzini For the Havre Daily News pixie@mtintouch.net

“Die hard bowlers look at their budgets, complain aboutthe high cost of living, and then quickly determine they can afford the newest $250 bowling ball on the market!” Halloween may be next Wednesday, but Jackpot Halloween will be celebrated on Friday night at 8 p.m. Wear a costume and get $2 off and enjoy drink specials. There will also be a costume contest with prizes. Call 265-5885 to reserve your lanes. I just took a quick look at the sheets from Sunday, Mike Hamilton threw a 300. More on this next week. The Havre Youth began bowling Sunday the same day as big game hunting season. There is still plenty of time to sign up for all the leagues. Bantams and Preps begin league at 1 p. m. on Sundays and Juniors and Majors are at 3:45 p.m. If more information is needed call Chris at 265-588. The PeeWee league will begin Nov. 4. The first Youth tourney is scheduled for the weekend of Nov. 24-25. “The Dewey Sloan” No-Tap is a Jr/Adult tourney. Depending on the amount of youth bowlers registered, the tourney may be held over two weekends. Becky Blake has birthday on Thursday. Kay Buskirk gains one on the 26. Kay, we also wish you a speedy recovery. Leila Haigler picked a 5-7 and 5-10; Marcia Malsam and Riki Handstede 4-5s; Ken Washman 5-7; and Roseann Marino, Denise Brewer, and Brad Baldwin 5-10s. Lisa Morrell’s 224 was high as was the 571 by Christy Holden. Lisa had a 538 and Christy a 211 and 552. Norma Mariani started off slow but came back with games of 211 and 210 for a 556. Dana Seidel shot a 203, Inetia Cantin 221, and I had a 519. Mike Hamilton has recorded his third 700 of the season. Games of 256, 233, and 244 gave Mike a 733. It was only a matter of time before the “sleeping giant” awoke. Shawn Mariani went on a tear last week with games of 222, 279 and 222 for a 723 and 226 and 247 for a 678; and a 225 and 223 for a 661. Ken Riska shot a 270 and a 654; Ron Tompt a 622 and a 604; Art Olson a 610; Minnow Mariani a 615; Kelly Olson a 257 and a 626; Tracy Job a 258; Frank Peterson a 267; Bret Preeshl a 243; Jay Burrington a 622 and Allen Stiffarm a 616. The high four-game of 933 belonged to Mike Hamilton and Shawn Mariani had a 904. Brett Antley shot an 814, Art Olson a 795, and Ken Riska a 824. If I am not mistaken, I think the Masters will be on Sunday. The show will air on ESPN at 11 a.m., but you may want to check your local listings.
