NRV’s Senior Bowlers Recognized
TheBurgs, a website and print publication covering Blacksburg, Christiansburg and communities of the New River Valley has a column today in their Sports section (Don’t Let Age Fool You – Senior Leagues Are Good) focusing on their senior bowlers and their accomplishments at the recent Virginia State Senior Tournament. Their first story of the bowling season was “In The Zone“, a recap of the first few weeks of Youth and Senior bowling. It’s good to see that some local media still show an interest in local bowling stories and accomplishments.
