Fall Big Turkey Bowling at Imperial Tuesdays 7pm

It's been a long and sun-filled summer for our Underdog Bowlers, but all were anxious to pile into the window-less Imperial Lanes and dust off their bowling balls and shoes. Teams arrived early to stretch, loosen up and practice for the first big night.

The big game of the night was the three-way match between The Plan, Turkey It Out and Wild Turkey. Wild Turkey was on fire right out of the gate, burning through the frames at super-hero speed. The Plan and Turkey It Out were moving a bit slower, but their pace ended up working to their advantage; for one player in particular. Travis from The Plan started his season strong, bowling a 164 and then a whopping 209 (he was so good, we had to cap his score at 205!). His efforts weren't quite enough to snag a win for The Team, but his skill and energy kept his team going, and they're itching for a win next week. Maybe their sunglasses at Sunglass Night will prove to be the key to their success?

Great job to Travis and to all our Tuesday night teams!

Tuesday night was a bit of a quiet night at Imperial Lanes. While there wasn't an official spirit night, there were sports jerseys and wigs to be seen...but aside from the spirit that the teams brought, the air was pretty laid back for the evening.

The evening started a bit slow for Matt of Wild Turkey. His game wasn't bad by any means, and the kid did stay consistent! He finished up his first game with seven spares for a total score of 150. Nothing to cry about by any means, but he wasn't quite as happy as he could be; he knew he had it in him to be better. After a mid-game pep talk (and perhaps another round or two of beers), Matt faced the lanes again determined to do better. His second game started off even shakier than his first, but he finished strong! He had a total of five strikes in the second game, and managed to pull off an *almost* turkey in the tenth frame (he got two in the tenth, one in the ninth). His score was 149 for the second game despite his streak of strikes, but he left feeling as though he'd conquered the lanes. Great job Matt, let's see if you can pull it off again next week!

Emily Luth came ready to play with great energy for her team. Not only did Luth display great sportsmanship for her, but she had great sportsmanship against her opponent. She high five other players from the other team when they did a good job, which is why she is the Player of the Week. In addition, Luth had great bowling skills this week by getting three strikes in row. Emily is an inspiring player to watch each and every week!
