RICHMOND — David Norman and Brandon Simpson have joined the 700 club at Galaxy this season. This is an exclusive group with only seven members.

Norman led all bowlers at Galaxy last week with a 707 series and 269 game. His high scores were bowled in the Wednesday Wonders League.

Simpson bowled a 701 series in the Galaxy Classic League.

Miranda Rowe led the ladies with a 216 game and 570 series.

League Highlights

Galaxy Classic

The high scoring pace of recent weeks in this league slowed somewhat last week as there were 12 600 series bowled, including one 700 series, compared to 17 600 series during the previous week.

There was also a small decrease in the number of 200-level games from 51 to 47.

Although there was a smaller number of honor scores bowled, there were many exceptionally high scores recorded.

Brandon Simpson bowled a 701 series. Barry Miller just missed the 700 level with a 697 score, while impressive scores were also rolled by Spider Weaver (679) and Matthew Wieczorek (675).

Series scores exceeding 600 were also bowled by Ronnie Thomas, Tyler Morgan, David Norman, Aaron Rose, Paul Dapkus and Ron Roberts.

The father son duo of Lewis Jones Sr. and Lewis Jones Jr. bowled series scores of 635 and 642 for a 1277 total. That would win a lot of doubles tournaments.

All the best scores are included in the top scores list at the end of the column.

Congratulations to league member Robert “Peanut” Johnson who was named Berea’s “Man of the Year” by the Berea Chamber of Commerce.



Galaxy Girls

Linda Combs bowled the top series (516) and tied Amy Felty for the high game (193) in this league.

It should be noted that Jelemia Sanders rolled her season-best game at 193 during the previous week.

The league’s ladies were led by Lanette Rosales with a 181 game and 480 series and Colleen Jackson at 156 and 418.



Bad Bowlers No-Tap

This league opened a new season last Tuesday. Nine pins down with the first ball in a frame counts as a strike in no-tap leagues. Because the scores are higher in this format, scores from this league are not included in the top scores list at the end of each column.

Sub Lynn Estes bowled the top series with a 705 score and he tied Ed Maggard for the high game at 288. David Robinson had the next-best game at 278.

Those who rolled a 600 series were Steve Dickey (672), Jim Hisle (667), Maggard (662) and Dean Acker (609).

April Brumfield, with a 169 game and 440 series, and Joanna Dickey, with a 136 game and 328 series, led the ladies.
