Brady Blasts 681, Three Others In The 600s
Third-Game 277 Paces Tommie Comeback Triumph

South Glens Falls - Opening week of the seventh edition of the Forever Young league at Kingpin's Alley saw a re-match between last season's top two teams, the defending champion Wombats and the Tomahawks. After a solid 55-pin thrashing by Erica Sampson (220) in the first game and four consecutive open frames from Tommie star anchor Don Williams to begin the second, a 'down-under' sweep looked likely. Despite Erica's follow-up 199, the Toms were able to pull out an all-important victory as Roy Brady fashioned a 232 and Williams threw seven strikes in a row to finish with 214 and a 17-pin win. The writing was on the wall, and Brady put five in front and six behind a 3-6-10 spare for a whopping 277 finale and a 3-1 Tomahawk verdict. Roy ended with a league-best 681 on games of 172, 232 and 277 while Williams added 649 (234-214-201). Erica finished with an outstanding 570 series.

Floyd Butler shot 221-235-182 for 638 in Fire and Ice's 3-1 win against the Marauders, who were minus Audrey Baker. Chuck Boykin's 200-242-193 for 635 powered the Galway Guys to a sweep over Pribis, and the Vic & Jim duo did what they had to in bowling against the BYE team. Wyman Swinton came close to the coveted 600 mark with 175-206-215 for 596.

Mark Basso and John Urban tallied the league's other 500+ sets with 532 and 528, respectively.

Vic & Jim square off versus the Galway Guys in a big Week 2 pairing. The Yanks (2-2) draw the Tomahawks.
