April 27 2019 1Congratulations to Brad Gray on winning his first SSO Singles Championship by defeating HOF'r Ken Wyatt in the final match 252 to 204, taking home our top prize of $1000.00, the trophy and earning 10 points towards our BOTY standings. In June of 2018 Brad won an SSO Over/Under 50 Doubles Championship with Brian Bush as his partner. Brad qualified in 12th today with a total pin fall of 1428 including a 279 and a 280 game, averaging 238 for his first 6 games. Brad then proceeded to average 254, including another 279 game with a 780, in the next 5 games of the Elimination Rounds.

Brad was not to be denied today given his 245 average for his 11 games. As an interesting note, Brad was high qualifier in our last (March) singles event as well. Keep up the Fantastic Bowling Brad !!!.

April 27 2019 2Congratulations also goes out to HOF'r Ken Wyatt on his second place finish, winning $500 and picking up 8 points towards BOTY. Ken qualified 3rd with the help of a 300 game in game two of  qualifying averaging 242 with a total of 1454 at the end of his first 6 games. In Eliminations, Wyatt easily advanced to the final match and then proceed to bowl his lowest game of the day. Go figure! Ken still bowled great all day with an average of 235 for his 11 games.

This month's tournament was held at Astro Lanes where we requested the Kegel Stone Street oiling pattern. We would like to thank the management and staff for hosting our tournament this weekend.
