In doubles, the father-son team of C.O. Gray and Chuck Gray lead with a 1396 followed by Bill Fike and Chuck Gray with a 1373. The team event leader is Gray's Hosiery Mill with a 3516. The team is made up of C.O. Gray, Chuck Gray, Bill Fike, Mike Cothern and Tim Van Doren.
In all event handicap, Bill Fike leads with a 2129 followed by Mike Holden's 2102. The scratch all event is led by Bill Fike with a 2129 and M.A. Copeland with a 2084. Those are the top two leaders in each event after the first week with another big weekend to go.

As you can see, the scores are great so make plans to join a summer league starting the week of May 28. For more information call 483-2283. We can also help you learn to be a good bowler.
Well, by the time you read this report I will have gone to Reno to bowl in the ABC tournament and returned. Hope I can have some of these good scores out there. For you family bowlers, join an adult-junior league for the summer. It's a good way to spend some great time together.
As we close, we wish everyone some great bowling whether it's in a league or just a bowling outing. Until next week, may your strikes be many and your splits be few.
