Two bowlers celebrate 50 years at USBC Open Championships
Matt Cannizzaro and Emil Williams Jr.
USBC Communications

“Since taking a job in the event's public relations department in 1989 (he served in that role until 1999), Cummings has bowled each year until now as a substitute because it allowed him to meet people from around the world and share the tournament experience with them."
Editor's note: These friends won the Huntsville All Star League during their ABC stint in 1997.

A Cinderella Story, in Bowling Shoes
Ben Tracy
CBS News

"But as fate would have it, nearby Detroit was hosting the next tournament to qualify for the pro tour. But making the tour wouldn't be easy, Smallwood would have to play 45 games and beat out 97 other bowlers. He did it, but even he couldn't imagine what would happen at his very first tournament."

The greatest moment in women's sports
Rick Reilly
ESPN The Magazine

"Hello? America? This is the equivalent of "Man Gives Birth!" It's never happened in any ball sport in American history. Kulick, 32, should own Page 1. Somebody should throw her a parade. Or at least a state dinner. Instead, she's gotten one free hair coloring. That's the highlight."
Despite the lack of attention for her tournament victory, Kelly Kulick rolls on.

Wetumpka’s Brannon named Alabama Sports Festival’s Athlete of the Year
Griffin Pritchard
Wetumpka Herald

"“I hope to make this a career,” said Brannon, who currently attends AUM and is a mass communications and has had tryouts with Florida State’s bowling team. “Bowling in college will get your name out there and will get the sponsors looking at you. The coaching on the collegiate level is so much better. They are focused on just your game. They are focused on getting the team better.”"
Matt Brannon’s perfect game elevated his team to the gold medal after taking home the silver in 2008.
Denver bowler wins $10 million jackpot at Reno airport
Reno Gazetta Journal
"A Denver bowler man won $10 million today after putting $12 into a slot machine as soon as he landed at the Reno airport. John W. Johnson, 36, told officials he came to Reno with his wife and teammates for the U.S. Bowling Congress open championship that started this weekend. He said he had just left a Southwest Airlines flight, walked over to a machine and put in $20."

Give United States Bowling Congress Masters runnerup Chris Barnes a bunch of silver medals
Matt Fiorito
Detroit Free Press
"But getting beat when someone hits you with a 265 (Kulick) and a 290 (Williams) can hardly be considered choking. Barnes never threw a bad shot under pressure, but even though he pounded the pocket, he didn’t get the carry, leaving several single pins."

Local bowler racks up 60 perfect games
Jo Anne McKnight
Mobile Press-Register

"The 10-year Professional Bowlers Association member said that technological changes in the 1970s and ’80s, including synthetic lanes and more aggressive balls, allow more room for error now, resulting in higher scores and more perfect games."
