BOWLING UPDATE (2/6/10)
From Tenpins & More
Here's the latest on what's been happening at our center in Rio Rancho:
* More than one hundred bowlers converged on Tenpins & More last Sunday
for the second annual NMAA Foundation Bowlathon, raising over $2,500 for youth scholarships.
The Chili's Restaurant team, captained by Robert Templeton, won easily in most part to
two-time-a-week league member, Ron Michel, a late substitute, who bowled 300-300-210 (810)
in the 9-pin No-Tap scoring format. They beat last year's winners, NMOA, by more than 100
pins, with the New Mexico Sports Authority team, headed by NMSA director, Brian O'Neill
finishing third in the 21-team field. NMAA executive director, Gary Tripp was so pleased
with the results that he believes he can fill two squads over two days in 2011.
* Leslie Rinker of Truth or Consequences
made the trip to Rio Rancho worthwhile by becoming the first weekly qualifier for Tenpins & More
Sports Bar's new Karaoke contest. Rinker won over other singers to be one of 16 finalists
in the May 22 grand final event, from which the winner will receive airfare and accommodation
to Las Vegas, NV and compete for prizemoney of $8,000. The Karaoke contest has check-in
at 8:30pm every Saturday night at Tenpins & More.
* While Sunday's Superbowl is screened
from Miami, about 30 bowlers will be contesting the 8th annual Superbowl Doubles Marathon
at Tenpins & More. The tournament starts at game time, 5pm, offering up to $1,550
in prizemoney on a full field.
* A new Harley-Davidson bowling ball league is slated
to start next Wednesday, February 10 at 6:20pm. At the end of the short-season (16 weeks)
league, everyone gets as Harley-Davidson ball of their choice. The team of four, any mix,
needs to hear from interested bowlers, as there is lane room for only six teams. Call 892-7117
to sign up.
