Congratulations to Brian Valenta of St. Charles and Jerry Anderson of Dupo, co-winners of the King of the Hill tournament Saturday Nov. 15 at Shrewsbury Lanes.

The 35' Kegel flat oil pattern was the hardest condition I ever bowled. I averaged 171.1, and still made the cut. Brian Valenta said it was harder than the 2008 US Open - an event he finished 9th winning $4500 against the top bowlers in the world! He threw a Blue Dot after his first game to keep the ball in play.

The next King of the Hill at Shrewsbury is Saturday Nov. 29, 730pm, only $25, on a sport challenge shot - great practice and competition, no reason to miss it!

Below is Brian, in his younger days, as the star at National Champion Lindenwood University, 2-time Intercollegegiate Singles Champion.
