NSL Title Goes to Crushers



The Crushers, Cedar Crest Village, Pompton Plains, NJ, wii rolled past Morigi 1, Center on the Hill, Belle Vernon, PA, in the finals of the National Senior League's (NSL) 2011 Spring Wii Bowling Championships. The Crushers posted scores of 1,057 and 991 defeating Morigi by 179 pins.

The well balanced Crusher's team of Lily Berenbroick, 92 year old Peter Galioto, Bill Sperry, Sydelle Hirsch and coach Tony di Filippo maintained their composure and focus under the scrutiny of television camera's, photo shoots and close to 100 spectators cheering them on. Sperry (in photo) continued his exceptional year by wii bowling his 10th NSL sanctioned 300 game and adding a 290 to claim MVP honors.

Pat Bennico, Center on the Hill's director and team cheerleader, couldn't quite get Rick Swaney, Warner Wisyanski, Coach Pat Morigi, and Bill Artis to take the title. High scoring teammate, Lil Kepsel with a 286 season average, missed the championship match which hurt Center's chances. Coach Morigi's team was in its second championship game having been runner-up in the NSL 2010 Fall championship.

The champion Crushers bested 144 teams from 24 states to win the title. The final four teams, all of which receive a free pass, to the NSL 2011 Fall Championship, included The Crushers, Morigi 1, 3 time national champion the SAS Strikers, St Andrews Estates South, Boca Raton, FL and The Alley Katz, led by coach, Bernie Katz, from the Santa Clarita Valley Senior Center, Santa Clarita, CA.

The NSL Fall Senior Wii Bowling Championship begins the first week in August. For details and registration visit the NSL website, http://www.nslgames.com/ or call Dennis Berkholtz, President (435 714 9491).
