THE ELEVENTH FRAME - by Scott West
December 2, 2011

This will be a shorter edition than usual owing to preparation for the upcoming Open Championship at Ocean Lanes.  
Rest assured that any newsworthy goings on will appear here as soon as possible.

PRACTICE, WE TALKIN' ABOUT PRACTICE?

Any basketball fan worth his/her salt will recognize the above quotation originally offered by Allen Iverson during his
days with the Philadelphia 76ers.  Mr. Iverson was taking questions at a press conference pertaining to a strain in his
relationship with his head coach regarding an absence from a team practice.  A lot of our younger players today are
firm believers that practice makes perfect.  Apparently, it also sometimes makes for perfect scores.  

Courtney Clogg (defending Girls MVP) demonstrated that just recently at Eastern Shore Lanes with a perfect game
during a practice session.  It is especially impressive that she has put so much time into her game recently owing to
her role on the Crisfield High School field hockey team.  Expect to hear more from her as she moves up the ranks.

PASSINGS

Dotty Sandford passed away this past week.  Dotty was a devoted bowler and was a fixture at Ocean Lanes having
bowled both the Wednesday Night Ladies League and the Friday Night Mixed League.  She also bowled at Millsboro
Lanes.  Dotty was 65 at the time of her passing.
