THE BOWLERS TO VETERANS LINK

Our association held their annual BVL tournament last Saturday with the winners earning a berth into the state finals to be held at the West Lane Bowl in Stockton on March 23, 2019. The divisions will be announced next week for the men, women, and boys and girls who made the cut for the state finals.

Local winners will revive certificates from the Merced County USBC Association for their participation. I heard that they had around 60 bowing last Saturday.The BVL supports VA Medical Centers, VA hospitals, and State Veterans Homes. California leads the national in BVL donations every year.

SCRATCH SIX-GAMER THIS SUNDAY

Yosemite Lanes will be holding their November scratch 6-gamer this Sunday in Modesto. Check in starts at 11 a.m. and bowling starts at noon. This tournament will be sponsored by Freddy Irvin and Freddy's Tree Service and one in every three entries will cash.

They offer optional brackets, high game pots, last game pots, and senior insurance will also be available. Entry fee is only $60 and there will be a top five step ladder finals. They have a special pattern for this event that will be the Shark and Wolf patterns.

All the left lanes will be the 45 foot PBA Shark pattern, and all the right lanes will be the 33 foot PBA Wolf pattern. I think we should have some top Bellevue Bowlers driving up to Yosemite to compete.
