KNOCKIN' EM' DOWN – Youth league bowlers and their parents joined one another in a fun afternoon of bowling recently. Their season began last December and wrapped up in early March with a finale tournament and award ceremony.
Bowling season 2019 is in the books for young bowlers. The season ended with the second reinstatement of original founders Gene and Ruth LaBrosse's no-tap tournament.
According to Thompson Falls bowling enthusiast Ginger Ward, "We had a no-tap tournament again this year and hope to continue it in the future" in memory of the LaBrosses, who were tragically killed in an airplane crash years ago.
Two divisions were awarded with top male and female bowlers. In the Juniors class, ages 9 to 14, Zack Harris took first with a score of 363 for two games, and for the girls Chesney Lowe rolled a 375 in her two games securing a first-place finish.
Another highlight of the season included tournaments that invited parents to show their stuff on the lanes. Members teamed up with their parents and bowled for prizes and fun, according to Ward.
Falls' youth bowling teams and members include: The Barber Pole, comprised of Hailey Lowe, Kaydence Pavlik, and Jack Harris; MMCC's, Riley Jopling, Kinzie Cox, Emma Claridge, and Kaden Cox; Main St. Medical, Kylee Huff, Allie Borgman, and Isaac Wilhite; Do it Ranch, Jesse Claridge, Benjamin Cooper, and Chesney Lowe; Do it Ranch #2, Zack Harris, Carter Marquardt, Billy Largent, and Noah Vold; and Cox's, Presley Cox and Nate Wilhite.
Sign-ups for the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) sanctioned club take place in November and will be announced in The Ledger and in school fliers. There are three divisions; Bumpers, Juniors and Teens. The local association is led by Sandy True, Ron Beaty, Billie Jo Adams and Ward. Inquiries can be made by contacting Ward at 827-4597 or Rimrock Lanes at 827-3536.
