NSL Wii Bowling Championships - Week 3
For the third week in a row we had a 600 series! Wayne Birdsell, Golden Spurs, Troupe County, Ga., rolled a pair of 300's. And for the third week in a row we had 10 wii bowlers in the 300 zone.
But the highlite of the week and a NSL SHOUTOUT has to go to 91 years young Maxi Slife, Wii Are Winners. Maxi bowled her way to a 299 and followed that up with a 227. Way to go Maxi!
The Cougar Crawlers and the Superstars are on a torrid pace and have their sights firmly planted on the 3 time National Champions, SAS Strikers. After 3 weeks of competition there are 10 to 12 teams primed to outbowl the Strikers for the title.
Coaches reported wii bowlers who excelled in Week 3 included - Maxine Kasules (Cerritos Falcons), Arnold Bechtel (Stryke Force), Diane Burgoyne (Tacome Ten Pins), Bill Scott (Incredibles), Junaita Brinkerhoff (Striking Seniors 2), Barbara Seymone (Pin Eaters) and Duane Webster (SAS Strikers).
NICKNAMES: Deborah Martin (Maplewood Place) reports that "The Southern Bell" (Ann Ford) lead her team to a 5-0 victory over Covenant Village of Colorado. Vickie Selvaggio (Capitol Retirement Village) had all three of her teams win this week. "Sizzlin Shirley" McBride and "Fancy Francis" Garlin led Team 1 to victory and the consistent play of "Wild Bill" Lester and "Lady 35" (Wanda Campbell) led team 2 to a big win over the Sister Strikers. In one of the closet matches of the week, "Slow Poke" Adams, "Jumpy" Paul Morken, "Wally" Walter Fornoff, and "Mister Ed" Garlin led Team 3 to a 20 pin victory over the South Bay Blasers.
