Title: Senior High Average
Post by: carlos on April 06, 2018, 11:26:00 AM: If it often that a senior has the high average in a fairly competitive league ? Just wondering what does that say about the younger bowlers. Its in a house that is known for making you earn your average. He's averaging 220. Just curious what others seniors are averaging. Thanks

One has several eagles, in the ABC hall of fame, and can still easily shoot 1800+ at nationals.

Some can.

Skill and talent.

Some have one, some have the other.

A few have both. These are the people you canâ€™t explain.

They do some amazing things.

Like average well over 200 when they normally shouldnâ€™t be able to.

They just can.
