Bill Spangler: Bowler of the Week


York Dispatch Bowler of the Week for Thursday, Feb. 10

Bowler: Bill Spangler, 50, of McSherrystown.

Latest bowling accomplishment: Member of the Kuhn Brothers Oil team that rolled a 1,006 triplicate at Hanover Bowling Centre.

I started bowling: At Hanover’s Go-Go Lanes in 1982.

Bowler I have learned the most from: Earl Strausbaugh.

Best bowling advice I ever received: Quit trying to be so fancy.

PBA bowler I enjoy watching: Chris Barnes.

Most memorable bowling moment: Rolling an 846 series at Hanover Bowling Centre in 2008.

Part of my game I’m working on improving: Spare shooting.

The toughest part about bowling is: Being consistent.

Non-bowlers don’t realize: How complicated the sport is.

Future goal: Roll a 300 game. It’s hard to believe I have an 846 series, but not a 300 game.

Note: Suburban Bowlerama will host the 21st Annual Tony Petraco Memorial Bowl-A-Thon, 1-3 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 13. Blind children and adults are expected to participate in this year’s event, which is sponsored by the Eastgate Sunrise Lions Club. Pledges can be made at the bowl-a-thon.
