  • Conchola Collars Top Series Michael Conchola Got
    Conchola collars top series (2.4.2021) Michael Conchola got off to an inauspicious start during last week’s Thursday Sundowners League when he missed a single pin spare in the first frame of the first game. That miss was the only open frame in the three games as he zeroed in to post the only 700 plus for the week. Conchola generated enough strikes to roll individual games of 212, 248 and 258 for a very nice 718 total. Mike is another local bowler who progressed through youth league to continue to bowl well. Rob Lyman scored the second high total as he led the Spring Monday Mixed League with games of 214, 235 and 244 for a 693 series. An open frame in each game stopped his chance at a 700 set. Lyman also posted a nice 654 total in Thursday Sundowners action. Other bowlers breaking the 250-650 mark were Sterling Kocian (680), Jacob Silgero (676), Randy Vivero (675), Woody Wood (674), David Matthews (258- 669/665), Mike Unger (651) and TJ Mooney (650). Senior bowler Gerald Brooks rolled a great individual game of 264 in Sundowners competition. Mike Stacy with a (257), and Chris Diaz (254) also posted a great individual game.
