Dight's teammate, Bob Jarecki, recorded a 289 game en route to a 685 series. The 827 and 685 were part of the league-high scratch team series of 3,366 and handicap series of 3,498.

Others who bowled well in the league were: Ray West 265-661, Trent Slater 269-664, Chuck Lorenzini 265-661, Joe Tirk 263-636, Mark Monnie 651 series, Bob Prementine 644 series, Buffy Cress 255-635, Dick Nero 640 series and Dave Peters 641 series.

Names neededBowler Lynn Kline will begin posting some of the top women's scores on the mirror at the Lyndora Hotel. The practice has been done for the men for a long time.If any sanctioned female bowler rolls a 225 game or higher and a 600 series or higher, e-mail me at wiseguyrondo@zoominternet.net, and I'll be sure Lynn gets the scores.

Tip of the WeekI hope you remembered to bring your ball in from the cold. Many folks leave their equipment in the car trunk, and that could lead to problems.First, a cold bowling ball can have more of a tendency of chipping or cracking while using it in the "thaw" cycle.Also, using a cold bowling ball could cause the size of your fingers to shrink, affecting your ability to grip the ball properly.As for your shoes, coming in from the cold could create condensation on the soles, which could cause you to stick on the approach and get hurt.The easiest solution is obvious: bring your bowling equipment into the house when you get home from league night.
