More than 100 bowlers from throughout Southern Illinois turned out Sunday afternoon at the SI Bowl in Carterville to help raise money for John A. Logan College athletics.

The quintet of keglers from the Ike’s Honda team in Marion placed first overall with a three-game combined score of 3,516.

Team members included: Brian and Jason Eigenrauch, Doug Lampley, Randy Duncan and Russ Tarter. Duncan, a Herrin resident, also claimed the award for “Men’s High Series” with a total of 852 or a 284 average per game.

Earning the “Women’s High Series” award was Penny Walter of Marion with a 691.

The “High Women’s Game” award went to Tammy Kell of Carterville with a 230. Gary Moon of Energy won “High Men’s Game” with a perfect 300.

The event was underwritten by First Bank and Trust in Murphysboro. An evening meal was provided by 17th Street Barbeque in Murphysboro and Marion.

“It was a great turnout today, which makes for a successful fundraiser,” said JALC Athletics Director Jerry Halstead. “I’d like to give a special thanks to Mr. Mike Cripps and the good folks at First Bank and Trust for all that they do every year with this event; Mr. Mike Mills and his staff at 17th Street; Vickie Hunsaker, and her team of workers here at SI Bowl; and, of course, our own Logan staffers for giving up their Sunday to help make this day special. Thanks to all those who participated.”
