There were a myriad of different skill levels present, as evidenced by the score boards. Braden Soles scored his first strike ever. Glenn bowled a truly exceptional game with 10 strikes in a row, ending with a 247. Nelson Metke bowled a 58 on his first game, and a 153 on his second. Violet Evans nailed a 4-6-10 split.
