Team Beer Me Takes It All In Icebusters League On the Back of Mighty Dusty Nelson!

April 26, 2008 - Team Beer Me literally chewed up their competition in the Glacier Icebusters League, taking out the competition by over 300 pins in final playoff action. Dusty Nelson, who had never had a 200 game before, had what can only be called a magical night as he lead his team to victory!

Nelson, who bowls with his wife, Shelby, not only caught the "gold ring" for his first deuce, a 201, but he never stopped striking! Coming back with games of 212 and 200, Dusty also shot his first 600 series - a 613 effort that caught everybody off-guard - only his better-half knowing that he had it in him! Not bad for a spectacular round of FIRSTS!

The Final Standings for the Top Four:

Team Beer Me - 5035
Team Automotive NW - 4718
Team Moose Zoo - 4696
Team Well, Come on In - 4531

Congratulations Dusty Nelson and Team Beer Me!

Dave Yocom Impresses His Wife!

April 19, 2008 - Dave Yocom, bowling in the Saturday Icebusters' League, had just picked up his brand new PBA Shark (shamelessly plugging the Pro Shop here) at Glacier Lanes! With a total of 8 practice balls under his belt, Dave, bowling with his lovely bride, Jen, started knocking the wood down and never stopped until it was time to go home as he smashed the sticks for a 245-244-266 - 755 series!

Now, all Jen has to do is somehow gently remind him that gloating in the living room is a "no-no"!

Fantastic Shooting, Dave!

 Becky Underwood Shoots 2-Deuces!

April 20, 2008 - Becky Underwood shooting in the Sunday Icebreakers' League had a night that both she and her hubbie, Tony, will remember for a long time - she'll make sure that he doesn't forget!

Becky, averaging around 150 for the season, shot two nice 200 games - her first and second deuces of the season. While Tony looked on proudly, Underwood belted out a 202-155-209 set with a final tally of 566. The right-hander averaging almost 190 for the evening!

Awesome Bowling, Becky!

Massive Team Game In Redhook - Iceberg Game

April 10, 2008 - It will go down as one of the most memorable events in the annals of Glacier Lanes!  In the Redhook-Iceberg League, bowling for Jamco Americans, not only did all 5 bowlers hit for big 200 or better games, but 3 of them absolutely shot lights out!

Will "Bulldog" Simmons led off for the team and made it all the way into the 12 ball before a wiggling 10-pin thwarted his attempt at his first 300 game of the season as he finished with a stellar 299! Frank Dorsett's attempt was almost as close as he kept pace with Simmons for the first 10 frames before another 10-pin throttled him, as he ended with a 289. In the third position, Mike Hammontree's shot at a perrfecto ended early, but he still finished with a 279!   David "Kegger" Marcoll settled for a 204 as did Taffy...er, Tuffy "Franchise" Miller who almost his his average with his 204.

But, the story doesn't end there...Mike Hammontree continued to absolutely cream the wood as he added games of 266 and 246 for a humongous effort of 791 - a 4-pin in the 11th frame costing him his 800 series. For more on Redhook-Iceberg Classic League action, click here!

Congratulations, Guys! WOW!!

Don Bullock Has Top Honors!

April 4, 2008 - Don Bullock, one of the premier southpaws at Glacier Lanes, didn't just tear up the lanes, he literally set them aflame! Bullock, a dependable 210+ average shooter, started off his night in the Friday Mixed Masters League with a withering string of strikes and if it weren't for a couple stubborn sticks, he would have had his 5th perfect game...but, that had to wait as he finished with a beautiful 277!  

Don's second game was another lesson in consistency as he ripped 8 more strikes for a 246! Now, going into the final game with a 523 total for the two games, Bullock showed no signs of getting the jitters, his ball nailing the 1-2 pocket with an unerring shot. Finally, after starting off the game with 9 in-a-row, he had put himself, once again, at the opportunity to catch another perfecto. So many times in the past - especially the last 4 years, Don has come, oh so close, only to be stared down by a single, dastardly and stubbornly standing pin. But, on this night, everything just seemed so entirely different.

Quickly pummeling the wood for strikes in the 10th and 11th frames, Bullock studied the pins one last time and smoothly let his ball fly, watching it as it curved in from the left-hand side of the lanes. With every bowler on every lane watching, the sound of the clanging of the pins going into the pit was heard throughout the house, but the howl from those same spectators and bowlers alike were almost as loud as two pins were left on the deck...one wiggling, but standing. Then, literally in slow motion, as the Don and the crowd looked on, the fallen pin slowly rolled towards the the standing 7-pin and tapped it, the kinetic energy just enough to push it over as the throng behind started a long and rising, "ooooOOOOHHHHH"!

Bullock had done it - his 5th Perfect Game AND a HUGE series total of 823 as he took the top spot on Glacier's Wall of Fame! 

Incredible, Don! It's an Understatement when we say, "Exciting Stuff"!

Tom Lewis On Wall of Fame!

March 27, 2008 - The man known as Tom "Animal" Lewis, has added his name to Glacier's Wall of Fame as he put up the Redhook Iceberg League's 5th Perfect game!  Lewis, a right-hander, whose tales of bowling on the Abraham Lincoln carrier can keep anybody spellbound for at least 3 or 4 minutes, shot his 2nd Perfecto of his career - the other while stationed in Japan 11 years ago. Tom, whose set of 218-300-220 and total of 738 was more than enough to give him high honors in the league that night!

Tom, 35 years belies his experience, is a chief petty officer and with the navy for 15 years. Carrying a 210+ average into the night's festivities, there wasn't a doubt of the final outcome, his ball catastrophically harassing the pins every frame!

 Congratulations, Tom!

Scott Reed Shoots First "6"!

March 8, 2008 - Scott Reed, shooting in the Saturday Icebusters League, has been getting closer and closer to the second goal of every bowler - shooting his first 600. On Saturday, March 8, it happened!

Scott, a 170+ average bowler, started out with a nice 194 his first game and then, never looked back. The big right-hander proceeded to knock over the sticks with an unerring consistency as he belted out a 223 his second game!

Knowing that he was within reach of elusive target, Reed only needed to shoot a 181, but he continued to rip up the lanes and finished with a 206 for his FIRST ever 600 series in league play - 623!

Superb bowling, Scott!

A New Ball - Big Scores!

March 8, 2008 - Jamie Cullum, also bowling inthe Saturday Icebusters League had two more than successful weeks in a row!  Jamie had just purchased a new Roto Grip Saturn four weeks ago from the Glacier Lanes Pro Shop and has bowled over his average since day 1 - his scores increasing each and every week!

On this Saturday, Jamie, a 157 averaged right-hander, creamed the wood for scores of 200-243-177 for a stellar 620 series.

Then the next Saturday, Cullum bested that effort with a big set of 199-241-217 for a huge 657 series!

There doesn't seem to be any let up in sight and the way that Jamie is bowling, he's got a lot higher scores in mind!

Now for the big "7", Jamie!
