Agapito Scores 300 & 836 Series
Nineteen-year-old Monticello bowler Pedro Agapito III is on a roll early in this 2013-14 season as he banged the maples for his second 300 within a weeks time but this time added additional spice to his scores with an 836 series.
The 836 is his highest ever 800 series (300, 248, 288) and was bowled on lanes 9 and 10 using his Storm HyRoad Pearl in the September 17 Wednesday Men's league at Kiamesha Lanes.
In this league he bowls on the Josh's Pro Shop team with team mates Josh Strang, Tom Palmer and Jim Piontek.
Just last week on on September 8 Pedro scored the first Sullivan County 300 game for the 2014-15 season in the Kiamesha Lanes Monday Men's league.
The perfect game was bowled on the league's opening night in the second game of the three game match using a Storm HyRoad Pearl on lanes three and four.
The Wednesday league 300 is Pedro's sixth 300. On October 2 of last year Agapito recorded his fourth career 300 game.
He also bowls in the Tuesday Mixed Firefighters league at Kiamesha Lanes and averages 236 and 226.
Bowling for 10 years Pedro noted that all the 12 strikes Wednesday were in the pocket
Pedro is single and is employed as a driver.

Bowling Tip
By Mike Luongo
Know where you are on the approach at all times for your strike ball and your spare ball.
Just like coordinates on a map, locations relate to your body build and to the path of your ball.
You cannot just stand in an arbitrary place and roll your ball toward an arbitrary target without it interfering with the quality of your delivery.
For any given shot, put your body in a position which ensures accuracy and consistency in the path of your ball.
You accomplish this by understanding approach coordinates which involve two dimensions.....how far away from the foul line and how far left or right.
Distance from the foul line is a critical factor and determines how well your footwork fits your swing.
Left to right determines your alignment for strikes and spares. Walk alongside your swing....never toward it and never away from it.
Use the dots and arrows to choose what path you want your ball to follow.
Push your ball toward our target and walk toward your target.
