104 YEAR-OLD BOWLER ROLLS A 224 GAME TO "KICKOFF" THE NEW SEASON
WATERFORD, Mich. - Almost 6
years ago to the day, Rolla Zuck
shot a 199 game on his 99th birth-
day during his league bowling
match at Century Bowl in
Waterford, Michigan. Like all
good athletes, Rolla believes that
practice, practice, practice makes
you better. Only 1 month shy of
his 105th birthday, Rolla rolled a
224 game during the "League
Season Kickoff Tournament" at
his favorite bowling center,
Century Bowl.
The tournament included all
league bowlers getting ready to
start the new season. Rolla had
one of the best scores and every-
one celebrated. Many of the
younger, high average bowlers
were inspired by the great score
and are ready to bowl another 80
years.
"Rolla is an amazing person as
well as bowler," said Century
Bowl Manager Sheila Kiefer.
"Between turns, Rolla is joking
and having fun with his fellow
Monday Century Kegglers league
members. However, he becomes
focused when it is time to bowl.
Last year, he even carried a 152
per game season average."
Rolla has been bowling for
many years on the Monday after-
noon Century Kegglers league at
Century and has enjoyed every
minute.
According to Century Bowl
Director of Operations and Guest
Happiness, Roger Philipi,
"Bowling is the greatest lifelong
activity and the key to longevity.
Many people in the new 50+ gen-
eration want to remain active.
Bowling provides an exciting
social and recreational atmos-
phere. For some people, bowling
keeps the competitive edge alive."

Junior Team USA Won Gold and Silver
In Boys Doubles at World Youth Championships
HELSINKI, Finland - The United States boys dou-
bles teams earned the gold and silver medals at the
2010 World Tenpin Bowling Association World
Youth Championships.
Junior Team USA's Craig Hanson and Andrew Koff
won the gold medal by defeating teammates Devin
Bidwell and Jake Peters, 428-426, in the champi-
onship match at Tali Bowl. Hanson shot 227 and Koff
had 201, while Bidwell shot 222 and Peters fired 204.
The United States is the only country in the history of
the event to win both the gold and silver in the same
year. It last happened in 1988 in Manila, Philippines,
when the event was known as the International Youth
Championships.
"It was really relaxing, and we were just having fun
out there doing our best," Koff said. "We got both
medals, that's what we were out here for."
In the gold-medal match, Bidwell and Peters looked
like they would be on their way to the title, leading by
more than 50 pins at the halfway point. But Hanson
finished with six consecutive strikes and then Koff
doubled in the 10th to give them the gold.
"We never let ourselves get out of it mentally,"
Hanson said. "We talked to each other and said that
we needed to have a strong last half, make a good ball
change, make good shots and hopefully that would
get us the gold."
Even though they were bowling their teammates,
Bidwell said both doubles teams wanted to come out
on top.
"Of course we wanted to win as a team, but it was
still a doubles event, so we wanted to win it just as
bad as they did," Bidwell said. "It's really cool to
have both teams on top, though.”
In the semifinals, Hanson shot 182 and Koff had 198
as they took down top seed Korea, 380-363. Ju-
Young Kim shot 185, while Seung-Hyeon Shin had
178 for Korea.
Bidwell fired 194, while Peters had 192 as they
knocked off Malaysia, 386-343. Aris Ardilla had 174,
and Syimir Razak shot 169 for Malaysia.
A field of 46 countries compete in the World Youth
Championships for medals in five events - singles,

NORTH ARLINGTON, NJ – Thirteen-year-old Sam Passaro, scoring
the juniors’ best over-average mark of the session, earned Youth
Bowler of the Week honors in North Arlington’s Adult-Youth Doubles
play, lifting his Saute’ Two team out of the cellar with a sweep of
Boom Boom Pow.
The powerful team of Bosch Beastin overcame a valiant effort by the
second place Bacon Boys, taking two of three to clinch the league
championship. The Bowling Bombers kept their hopes alive for a run-
ner-up finish by grabbing five of seven points from the Absentees as
junior Pat Crocitto came through with an above average third game.
Tops among the younger set were Sam Passaro +37, Danny Bivin
+26 and Pat Crocitto +16. High marks for the adults were achieved
from Nick Gavron’s three-deuce 245-664 and Vin Albrecht’s 245-640.
