Three to be inducted into York/Adams Bowling Hall of Fame




Amy Miller, Rick Mitchell and Terry Huber will be inducted into the York/Adams Bowling Hall of Fame at the York Expo Center on Saturday, Feb. 19.

Miller and Mitchell are being inducted for their bowling ability, while Huber is joining the Hall of Fame for his meritorious service.

Miller of Gettysburg started bowling at Edgewood Bowl in 1969 and joined her first adult league in 1975. She posted her high single-season average of 184 during the 2002-03 season. She owns three perfect games and numerous 700 series. Her high series is a 784.

For the past 20 years, she has organized teams to travel to compete in the state tournament. She also has participated in the USBC national tournament for the past 13 years.

Miller and her husband, Larry, purchased Edgewood Bowl in 1983. They have raised three children in the bowling business. Miller takes particular pleasure in knowing she’s surrounded by family and friends every day she goes to work.

Mitchell of East Berlin and Huber of York will be joining their fathers in the York/Adams Bowling Hall of Fame. Mitchell will be joining his father, Hayden, who was inducted in 1998.

Rick owns 35 perfect games and 43 11-in-a-row awards. He also has recorded 33 800 series, including a high of 836. During the 2008-09 season, he tallied nine 800 series and achieved his high average of 240.

Rolling an 825 series at South Hanover in front of his parents, wife and friends stands out as one of Rick’s most memorable bowling moments. His 825 still stands as a house record at South Hanover. Rick rolled an 835 series at Trindle Lanes, and it stood as the house record from 2001 through 2008.

Off the lanes, Rick has been a Roto Grip staff member since 2007. He’s also associated with Storm Bowling Products and a member of the Bowling Writers Association of America.

Huber will join his late father, Robert, who was posthumously inducted into the hall of fame in 1997.

Terry has been involved with bowling for more than 45 years. As a junior bowler in 1970, he and his brother, Dave, were members of the state championship team. In 1975, Terry was a member of the handicap and scratch team champions in the York County tournament. He has competed in 35 county tournaments, 28 state tournaments and 22 national tournaments.

Terry owns a 300 game and a high series of 801. He posted his high season average of 213 during the 2004-05 season.

Terry has made his biggest contributions off the lanes. He served on the York-Adams Bowling Association’s board of directors from 1995 through 2010. He has served on the awards, tournament and Hall of Fame committees. He missed just one board meeting in 15 years.
