Hall of Fame Bowlers Giving Back
Three Hall of Fame bowlers, Dana Miller-Mackie, Walter Ray Williams and Pat Costello were among dozens of coaches at the US National High School Bowling Championships at Fairview Heights, Illinois. Great to see these top-level bowlers "giving back" to the sport with their knowledge and experiences.

These two drive down from Santa Fe twice a week (year-round) to compete in both the Santa Fe Mazda/Volvo Draft League and the Bud Handicap Trios. That's dedication - and a desire to keep learning more about this lifetime sport.
Three young bowlers who will likely go far in the sport.
