The bowlers of Butler County must be getting warmed up during this cold stretch of weather as two more rolled perfect games last week.

Scott Walker tossed a 300 game that was part of a 755 series at Sherwood Lanes in the Fox's Pizza Den League.

Paul Johnson bowled his second 300 game during Strikes and Spares league play at Family Bowlaway last Tuesday. It marked the third week in a row that someone has bowled a perfect game in the Strikes and Spares League.

Jeff Suchonic just missed a perfect game, leaving a tenpin for a 299 in the Butler City League last week.

Fleeger will be missedThe Buckhorn Bowling League at Bon Aire Bowl lost a good man and a good bowler last week when Mark Fleeger died. I had only a brief chance to bowl with Mark during a stint in a league at Bon Aire, and he always was courteous and congenial with me and those around him.The bowlers of the Buckhorn League and I send prayers and condolences to the Fleeger family.

Tip of the WeekThe league season is hitting the home stretch and matches are being played out every night as teams jockey for positions for the playoffs.Oh, your league has a team that already has sewn up the first half and second half of the season, meaning no playoffs for the rest of the league? What fun is that?Make your league a part of the "March Madness" and discuss with your fellow league members ways that you can include more teams in the playoffs, making the closing month or so a bit more interesting for everyone.Statistics have shown that one of the main reasons bowlers quit leagues is because they have never won a league championship. Bring it up at your banquets and vote on it before league play next year.Rhino does itRhino Page, the PBA's leading candidate for Rookie of the Year despite not being an exempt member of the organization, won his first professional tournament, the PBA GoRVing Classic in Connecticut.Page beat Jack Jurek 244-220 to win $25,000 and a one-year exemption.
