Bill Howe III Bowls 809 Series

Twenty-one year-old Bill Howe III smashed the maples for a big 809 series January 27 in the Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes.
Howe, a resident of Middletown, was subbing in the Wednesday league for his friend Donald Durland and recorded the 809 off single games of 263, 290, 256 on lanes 1 and 2 using a Roto Grip Nomad bowling ball.
In 9 games as a sub in this league Bill has a 256 average.
Howe is a regular team bowler in the Monday and Thursday Men's league at Pat Tarsio Lanes in Newburgh where he maintains a 226 average Monday and a 230 average Thursday.
In his 290 game Bill had 11 strikes in a row.
This young high-average left-handed bowler has 11 career 300 games and this is his second 800 series. His previous high 828 was bowled at Middletown Lanes.
Howe noted that he has been bowling since the age of 4, starting out in Middletown and has been a student of Mike Luongo. His father and grandfather during the 1970's and early 1980's owned and operated Ellenville Lanes.
Bill is single and is employed at Remme Products in Florida, NY.
