Congratulations to Noah Hanson for winning the “Average Jim Award” for $100. This award goes to the bowler that finishes in the middle of the standings. The award is named after Jim O’Reilly from Wabasha for everything he does for bowling over the years. It is a spin off from the “Average Joe” saying. We all think that Jim is definitely not “average”, but that’s how he likes to think of himself! In fact, he is so selfless, he funds this award himself! Thank you Jim O’Reilly for all the “not so average things” you do for bowling!
Congratulations to Caleb Johnson who won the Last Chance Best Ball Shootout for a $20 scholarship. Josh Hanson, Drake Wait and Caleb Johnson each received a $10 scholarship for the “Bring a Friend” promotion. Jayden Crittelli won the “Use it or Lose” free entry for the next event.
