Bowling in the Roofing Guy League, the mixed team of Scott Hensley, Courtney Martin, Neil Martin and Brian Glass rolled the best team game in the league, a 1,091.

Portage County USBC board members knew it was better than that.

The game bowled by team was tied for the highest mixed team (three men and one woman) game in the nation.

Their scores: Courtney Martin 256, Brian Glass 275, Neil Martin 280 and Scott Hensley 280.

By USBC standards that is an honor score that deserves recognition.

Gathered in front of the teams in the Roofing Guy League, Hensley, the Martins and Glass received their plaques honoring the remarkable achievement.

Shawna Potteiger, president of Portage County USBC, presented the plaques, recognizing the team for their outstanding performance.

Members of the USBC Portage County board were present, including Jimmy Champ, Jeremy Grund and Amanda Kiss.

BEST ON THE LANES

It is no surprise that Scott Hensley had the high series in the Roofing Guy League, a 687.

Neil Martin rolled the second-high game at 267 and Courtney Martin led the women with a 254-599. The team members are often at the top of the league.

Joining them this week were Toby Keeney, 279 high game, Tammy Black, a 208 game.

In the Woodlands Trio League, Cindy Ables bowled the high game, a 277.

There was one perfect game this week.

John Kertis accomplished the dozen strikes in one game in the Perfect Fit Trio League. Ryan Ambler was only 10 pins shy of the high game of Kertis with his 290. Olivia Brace led the women in the league, a 258 high game and Bonny Bender rolled a 787 high series.
