It was quiet on the lanes this week with 3 Full Teams and many missing bowlers due to winter cruise/golf/fishing trips! Smokeys Bandits had 3 members pre-bowl and they took all 7 points from the BYE team to hold on to the top spot in the league standings. On lanes 3 & 4 Tri-Star took 5 points from the Traitors who were also missing this week and ended the day with 2 points. Arena lanes was the only team to top 3300 pin series with handicap (3329) this week as they swept all 7 points away from Oak Forest Bowl on lanes 1 & 2. Lanes 7 & 8 saw Beggars Pizza get the better of Bright Metals by a 5 point to 2 margin. Down on lanes 9 & 10 Ascend Wealth Planning took all 7 points from Burr Oak Bowl, who was unable to field a team this week. (full standings in newsletter)

Did you Know? Bowling originated around 3200 BC and was originally a 9-pin game that was banned in Connecticut in 1841 due to gambling, which led to the invention of ten-pin bowling to bypass the law.
