Arlington

I received a stat sheet for this league last week which purported to be the final standings, and I listed the leader as the winner of the league’s spring season. However, I have been advised that the schedule has been revised, and that the season is not yet complete.

Linda Bowles and Pam Northern had the highest games last week, at 192 each, and Bowles had the highest series at 530. Joan Miller picked up the 8-10 split.
