HEROLD, GIBSON LEAD \u2018HIT PARADE\u2019 IN MEDINA<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judging by the bushel full of honor scores in league play last week, bowlers at Medina Lanes have adjusted well to the oil pattern being put down by proprietor Jim Foss\u2019 new Atlas lane conditioning machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of leagues last Thursday, Friday and Sunday, bowlers recorded five 300 games \u2013 including two by Garrett Gibson<\/strong> of Oakfield in a 799 series and one by Shayne Herold<\/strong> of Batavia in an 832 series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting with the Thursday Firefighters League, Brian Cline<\/strong> of Middleport posted a 299 game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Friday Doubles League, Herold fired 279-300-253\u2014832, Dave Montemarano Jr. <\/strong>of Pavilion rolled 300 and Aaron Philp<\/strong> of Le Roy recorded 290.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Sunday Rolloffs League, Gibson sandwiched a pair of perfect games around a 199 for the 799 series. Jason Mahnke<\/strong> of Medina also had a 300 game that morning and Alex Allis<\/strong> of Medina came close with a 290.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And this just in: Mahnke posted another 300 game last night in the Firefighters League at Medina Lanes!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several Medina Lanes bowlers found success in January as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— On Jan. 9, Jon McDowell<\/strong> of Lockport posted 256-276-278–810 in the Friday Doubles League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— On Jan. 14, Peyton Yasses<\/strong> of Oakfield rolled his first 300 game in a 750 series in the Wednesday Commercial League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— On Jan. 16, Brian Wittcop<\/strong> of Gasport rolled a 300 game and Marc Mariani of Lockport notched a 298 game in the Thursday Firefighters League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— On Jan. 23, Cline added another 300 to his long list of honor scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— On Jan. 29, it was Alex Patterson<\/strong> of Lockport with a 300 game in the Firefighters League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elsewhere around the Genesee Region USBC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— Chris Colantonio<\/strong> of Avon rolled his first perfect game in the Wednesday Night Classic League at Mount Morris Lanes on Jan. 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— Rob Husted<\/strong> of Bergen strung 11 in a row after an opening spare for 290 in the Thursday Owls League at Rose Garden Bowl in Bergen on Feb. 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— Travis Kinne<\/strong> of Barker shot 290\u2014755 in the Sneezy\u2019s Monday Night League at Oak Orchard Bowl in Albion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

— And Mike Pettinella<\/strong> (this bowling columnist) was fortunate to start with a 300 game en route to a 792 series in the Toyota of Batavia 4-Man League at Mancuso Bowling Center on Jan. 29. On a personal note, I wish to dedicate the perfect game to my cousin Ed Pettinella, Batavia native and avid bowling fan, who passed away on Jan. 9 at the age of 74.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
