LITTLE ROCK — Jacksonville’s Mike York followed games of 257 and 258 in the CES League at the Little Rock Air Base Bowling Center with his fifth 300 game and a career-high 815 series.
“It’s strange in that I shot my first 800 series, an 812, on this same pair, Nov. 19, 2008,” said York, employed by Loomis. “That time I had 33 of a possible 36 strikes, but this time only 31 of a possible 35. I wore the pocket out all night, the hits the 300 were good. I’m taking rings for both awards plus the TNBA [The National Bowling Association] awards.
“Our team shot games of 944, 887 and 957 for a 2,802 total, not bad for three men and a woman. Lula Duhon shot 582; Mike Duhon 638; andRoger York 767.”
York started bowling at 6 at Pope Air Force Base in North Carolina. He used a Brunswick Danger Zone ball and averages 224 and 228. He has two 298 games and four 11-strikes-ina-row awards.
