Just talked to the Junior Leagues Coach that my kids work with. At the State bowling tournament in Appleton this year, the tankette placed 3rd in all events out of 1095 kids. She won a scholorship of a couple hundred dollars and a poster with all of the winners names.
She has not done much bowling on the "plastic" lanes but was consistantly good over the 2 day event.
Going in, her high series was a 401 in regular leagues. She rolled a 432,422 and a 439, not counting her handicap.
Tiny Tank did not place, but managed to have a fantastic time anyway, spending almost 8 hours in the pool at the hotel.
Next year, the tournament is in Green Bay - and we have already discussed a miniherf with 8-track while we are up there.
She hates when I brag about this stuff, but I do it anyway.
