Robinette Poised To Place In ABC Bowling Classic
Richard Robinette, former Beckley bowler famed for three 300 games, aims to finish in the money at the ABC Tournament in St Louis after a 661 singles score in the event. His father expects a 20th to 50th place finish worth around $200, with Robinette weighing a career move to an East Coast lane empire. meanwhile, other local sports notes include Harry Perkowski’s second win for the Denver Beavers, and Charleston’s bid to host the State Conference Basketball Tournament next year with an eight-team format.
