Haefke numbers remain near the top


Teri Haefke’s 297-300-226 — 823 rattled the Bob’s Bail Bonding League at Wedgewood on March 4.

On any given week, the area’s premier female bowler’s name pops up on or near the top of local leagues, especially in the Wedgewood Ladies Trio League or Bob’s Bail Bonding.

Vincent Harris, wasn’t too shabby, either, when he went from 200 in game two to 300 in game three for 739 in Bob’s Bail Bonding on March 18.

Tammy Diver had the top set of 738 and top three games of 267, 246 and 225 among both men and women in Hively’s Doubles at Amron during Week 26 of 32.

Christine Nims’ 298 was the top game and her 716 represented the Wedgewood Ladies Trio bowler’s first 700 on March 19.

Junior Rodriquez had his first-ever 600 — 600 even — in Sunday Mixed Bankers at Holiday on March 10. Rodriquez’s top game was a season-high 231.

The Calabrette-Bertolette names were side-by-side among 700 series in Taylor Kia/Systems-A-Part, in which Josh Calabrette had 705 and Matt Bertolette 704 at Holiday.
