“Harry Stoddard Memorial Tournament” coming November 12th

The annual CAPE (Challenged Athletes Playing Equally) benefit bowling tournament is coming up on Saturday, November 12th at 1:00pm here at SBC.  The tournament has been renamed to the “Harry Stoddard Memorial Bowling Tournament” in honor of our beloved GM and CAPE Board Member, who passed away earlier this year.

The tournament will again be a 7-pin No-Tap event (which means if you knock down 7 pins or more on your first ball it counts as a strike), and each participant will bowl 2 games.  All bowlers who bowl a 300 game will get a t-shirt (either “I bowled a 300” or “CAPE bowling”), and the cost is $10 per person and includes shoes.  Bumpers & ramps available for any athlete that needs them.

There are plans for some very special guests to join the CAPE bowlers this year, so come on out Saturday, November 12th at 1:00pm and join the fun for a great cause.  For more information, visit the CAPE website at www.capetn.org or contact Rick Ryan at 615-238-7372.

Ricker all “Hart” in Youth Tournament of Champions

Most 7 year old bowlers need all the help they can get.  They use bumpers and are content if they knock down any pins.  Ricker Hart, however, is not a typical 7 year old bowler.  The left-hander won the coveted Youth Summer Shootout Tournament of Champions on August 4th at Smyrna Bowling Center.  In doing so, Ricker bowled personal high games of 135 and 138 which more than doubled his average of 65. Moreover, Hart had to bowl 9 games which consisted of 5 qualifying games and 4 stepladder games.  He qualified in 4th place and won each of his 4 stepladder games on his way to victory, which came a mere 2 1/2 hours after his 8pm bedtime.  He also had to fight through a blister on his thumb for his last 6 tournament games and if all of that wasn’t enough – he had to bowl his sister in the first match game!

Michael Murrell, who led the qualifying with a scorching 1330 series, finished second.  Rounding out the top five were:  Zach Barrett, Drew Wiggins and Blake Hart. For his efforts, Ricker won a $200 scholarship which he can look forward to using…in 2022.

2011 Southern Gold Shootout promises to be the most exciting yet!

The 2011 Southern Gold Shootout will renew again this year on September 3-4, 2011.  This year’s tournament promises to be the most exciting yet with a new format for Junior Gold qualifying.  Each day of the tournament will crown a Junior Gold winner in both male and female divisions.  The winners from both days will bowl head-to-head for $200 in expense money!  This doubles the amount of spots awarded in previous years and adds even more excitement to the tournament.

The scholarship portion of the tournament remains the same with bowlers trying to reach the top six scores in both the male and female divisions.  Additionally, bowlers can re-enter in the scholarship portion of the tournament to try and get into the top six spots. Furthermore, the guaranteed 1st place scholarship has risen to $500 for the winning male and female, and the $3,000 for a 300 game remains an elusive but tantalizing prize.  Tournament directors hope to expand the impressive field of entries from last year’s tournament which included bowlers from:  Massachusetts, Minnesota, Virginia, Oklahoma, New York, Illinois, Alabama, North and South Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Florida, and Tennessee.  For more information please contact Kelly Marlin at kelly@smyrnabowling.com or call 615-355-0501.
