Israel Potter – Two National Awards !

Leave a reply

Israel Potter, one of our local youth bowlers, was presented with two 2022-23 National awards. One was for having that season’s highest Male Youth Average in the country, which was a whopping 231 ! And the other was for having the season’s highest Male Youth Series in Canada – an 830 !!

Potter, who is originally from Brandon, Manitoba, but now resides in Winnipeg, accomplished these feats in two different leagues. The high series was done while bowling in the Brandon Youth League, at the T-Birds bowling centre, and the high average award was accomplished in the Laverendrye Lanes Youth League.

CONGRATULATIONS Israel !!

A huge Congratulations to 13-year-old Chase McVicar who rolled a 300 Game in the Manitoba Bowling Association Youth Open Tournament on Sunday, Dec 10, 2023, at Laverendrye Lanes. It was his first game of the tournament. He ended up with a 1065 total for 5 games.

We know there will be many more in this young man’s future.

Kyle Tabo-oy – 1st Career 300 Game!

Congratulations to Kyle Tabo-oy (aka Derrick) for bowling his very first 300 game.

It happened on Saturday, April 1st in the Mabuhay Mixed Bowling League, at Laverendrye Lanes. The perfecto was in his 2nd game. His scores for the session were 211, 300, and 170, for a series total of 681.

This is Kyle’s first season of bowling in a league. And he only recently started regularly bowling. He started the sport in August, 2021, thanks to his fiancee, Geraldine, and they came out to the lanes pretty regularly for open play, until he felt that he (they?) was ready to commit to bowling in a league. He (They) actually joined two leagues, where he averages 163 and 170. So, a 300 game is quite an achievement for him.

Kyle said “To be honest I still think it never happened haha! Kinda funny that it happened on April 1st too and people thought it was a joke. Would just like to say thanks to everyone for a great year of bowling. Also special thanks to Geraldine (please buy me more bowling balls).

CONGRATULATIONS!!
