We had no shortage of big games as Bowlero Lanes hosted the Tour this week and there were 9-tap streaks abound, including Earl Kleist's attempt at the 'Middle 7' along with Lisa Seiferthitting six of first seven and a couple of others who had five or six of seven!  While Earl's 7th shot was a bit off, Lisa did wind up hitting the first five for$375.00!  The Jackpot did increase to $8,351.00as we head to HiLine in a couple of weeks. 

Scores were on the high side this week as Zac Clute, who shot 961 was at the Cut-Line and we had eight bowlers who broke 1000, includingThang Thai (1000), Nathan Koprek (1005),Dan Elliott (1009), David Kim (1014) & Zach McKenzie (1016). The fight for 2nd Place was between last week's winner, Arlington's Ed Berg & Yakima's Chuck Gonsalez. BOTH shot their very first Tour 300 games as the Tour's hottest bowler, Ed wound up with a 3rd Place 1053 while Chuck was at 1089 for 2nd!  Great shooting for these two!  Gonsalez was going for his 4th win and first since late 2015.

  

Chuck Hufford joined the Tour in 2007 and rarely misses a tournament. This week it all came together for Chuck as he topped his best best scratch series performance ever putting up games of 238, 230, 242 & 261 for 971 and 1135 total! If our research is correct and we're sure he'll let us know if it's not, his previous best was a 968 (7/19/09) and 970 (3/26/11).  Chuck used hisStorm 'Tropical Breeze' and wore his Dextershoes on his way to the win as he earned himself$1,000.00 to crack the $15k mark for career earnings.  It's rare for Chuck to participate in the Progressive pot and this week was no different which means the pot carries over to HiLine in two weeks where it will be very healthy at $2,458.00!  Chuck wanted to thank the guys he bowled with ~Leon Bemis, Paul Mann & Willie Downingfor supporting him Saturday.  Leon said "Chuck was in the zone!" and Chuck added "I was calm and had total concentration througout".  He said that his savings account will be the recipient of his winnings!  Great bowling, Mr. Hufford and congratulations from us all! 

Shout out to Jakob Wolf who finished 13th this week, his first cash on Tour after joining just last week!  

One face that missing this week was the Tour's all-time leader in wins and earnings, Samson Ibale...Where was Samson, you ask???  He was in Hawaii, bowling in the Hawaii Region tourney atFort Shafter where he earned Title #25 and padded his career earnings to over $80k!  Congratulations Samson!
