A 296 game by Dolores Meyers and perfect games by Corey Cyr and Matt White highlight this week's high-score report from bowling leagues in the Sarasota-Manatee-Charlotte County area.
Meyers continues to be one of the top-level female bowlers in the area, and this week's performances certainly enhance those credentials.
Rolling in the After Hours Bail Bonds/Advanced Home Improvement League at AMF Venice Lanes on Wednesday, Meyers strung 11 strikes to begin her last game before a final-ball 2-4-5-8 "bucket" leave forced her to settle for a 296 game that completed a 667 series, upping her average to 203.
Two nights earlier, in the Kays-Ponger-Uselton Women's League at Treasure Lanes, Meyers fired a 657 series that included a 246 game, and her average now stands at 204 in that league. Last week in the K-P-U League, she blasted a 277 game in a 691 series, and she also had a recent 258 game in the TGIF League at AMF Venice.
Perfect games at Treasure and Bowland
Last week in the Kays-Ponger-Uselton Men's League at Treasure Lanes, Cyr finished a 722 series with a 299 game, but this week, he did even better. In increasing his average to 216, Cyr rolled games of 278, 204 and 300 for a 782 series.
Competing in the Al Davis Memorial League at Bowland Port Charlotte, White rolled a 300 game, which was exactly 100 pins over his average. The perfecto came in the middle of a 694 series.
Meanwhile, George Barlow posted a first-game 290 for the second consecutive week in the Guys & Dolls Mixed League at Treasure Lanes. Last week, he strung 11 strikes to finish his opening game en route to a 713 series, and this week, the 220-average player had a 290 to jump-start a 694 set.
Two area bowlers blasted far-over-average games. Chad McDonald rolled a 109-over 266 as part of a 166-over 637 series in the Environmental A/C League at AMF Gulf Gate, and Sascha Barkhoff had a 100-over 285 game in the Gormans & Avare Enterprises League at AMF Venice.
James Creutz connected for a 169-over-average 772 series in the Al Davis Memorial League at Bowland Port Charlotte, and Jason Gottfried had a 141-over 690 series in the same league. In addition, Gerald Lord posted a 165-over 744 series that included a 275 game in the Guys & Dolls League at Treasure Lanes.
