Local Bowling Report: Hi Line Lanes Challenge a hit

On Saturday, Nov. 24th, 32 keglers tried to conquer the difficult lane conditions across the Hi Line Lanes. In the final game, Erik Kanning of Shelby took home the top prize of $380 by defeating James LaBuda of Big Sandy 181 to 208 in the step ladder. In the step ladder, it was Chris LaBuda over Doris Kimmerle of Great Falls 189 to 196; then James LaBuda over Chris (his son) 173 to 237; then James defeating Andy Kost of Missoula 230 to 203 for third place.

Bowlers competing in the challenge came from Harlem, Shelby, Big Sandy, Great Falls, Missoula, and Havre. Cody Thompson, Shawn Mariani, and Julie Rodgers finished in the Top 12. All-in-all it was a great turnout and Hi Line Lanes thanks all who participated.

We apologize for no article last week. Mother nature took its course on the typist last week as she was sick for three days and as for me, I would still be typing the article. Once again we apologize. The scores are one week behind and they will be caught up next week.

TIP OF THE WEEK: Good footwork creates a consistent swing path. Bowlers who have the straightest, most relaxed swings-swings that stay in line with their shoulder and fall directly under the head- tend not only to have the most consistent direction but also have the greatest capacity for generating power in the form of speed and rev. rate. Next week measuring the swing at four points.

TOURNEY TRAIL: The P.B.A. Tour starts this Sunday on ESPN at 11 a.m. mtn. time.

Sign-up sheets are out for New Years Eve Jackpot. Please sign up early. Maximum of six bowlers per lane, and it starts at 8 p.m.
