2018-2019 Alumni Bowling League End-Season Report
Another fun season was had and enjoyed by those who bowled in the Alumni League, either as a
committed bowler or as a “sub”. The season, which is broken up into two-halves, means that a team
winning both halves, wins for the entire season. If there are two different teams winning each half,
then a Championship “roll-off” is necessary.
Championship Roll-off and “No-Tap” Tournament
- A Championship “roll-off” was necessary for the 2018-2019 bowling season as the 1st place winners
for the first half were the Baggers (Ed Gomez, Rita Balm and Duane Glenzinski) and the 1st place winners
for the second half were the Bee Gees (Bernie Borgschatz, Beth Aakre and John Greilinger). The winning
team for the season was the Baggers, who took 2 of 3 final games (4 of 7 total points). Congratulations
to the Baggers for achieving our League Championship for the 2018-2019 season. Also Congratulations to
the Bee Gees on earning League Runner-up.

There was also a “no-tap” tournament
(where 9’s count as strikes) held for fun to close out the season. Small awards are earned based on the
highest score achieved for each game by several bowlers.

On the final bowling day of the season (March 27, 2019) for the Alumni League, we enjoyed a small
informal luncheon at Colonial Lanes. Nice end to an enjoyable bowling season!
