Another MBA season is underway. 82 bowlers came out to Blossom Lanes in Benton Harbor to kick off our 31st season. Thank you to Brenda Webster and her staff for hosting us again, and to Bill Froberg for sponsoring the event. We look forward to Bill returning to competition at some point later this season.
Dennis Weatherman won his 3rd singles title (5th overall). Phil Vincze made a run through the finals bracket but came up just short against Dennis in the championship match.
