Brady, Yanks Continue To Impress


South Glens Falls - The record book took a pounding Thursday afternoon as Roy Brady took high honors in the Forever Young league with a mistake-free 722 series on games of 268, 247 and 207. The single and triple were season-highs, just short of the 277-725 rolled in 2010 by teammate Don Williams. Williams added 213-204-178 for 595 as the Tomahawks took a 3-1 decision against the CC's. Chuck Boykin paced the losers with 202-184-193 (579).

The Yanks continued on their torrid streak, surviving a first-game scare to sweep The Librarians and maintain their 5½ point lead in the standings. Mark Basso had 184-518 and mom Ingrid finished up with a blistering 166 game for the winners. The Yanks are 16-4 over the past five sessions.

The Singers swept Frosty + One behind anchor Joe Sycuro's fine 194-535 to move into the runner-up spot alone. Hi-Lo took three from the Gamblers as Curt Williams fashioned a 232-577.

In other action, the Racy Retirees beat the Marauders 3-1 and the league welcomed a new sub, Nick Gebo, who responded with 643 (217-210-216) - pairing with Paul Pribis to get four points versus the vacancy.

Carol Finkle showed the way for the women with a 168 game, and Barb Trottier had 454 for the best series.

The league is now at the two-thirds mark, with five weeks remaining on the schedule (20 available points).
