"It sure makes a difference when we can have all six bowlers participating. The format allows us to bowl six and retain the best five scores each game. Everyone contributed today. In the six games bowled, four different bowlers posted a high score so that just shows a strong team effort. This group practices hard and are a very close knit group, such a pleasure to coach", commented Head Coach Tom Rathbun.
