Action continues this weekend in the Tulsa Area USBC City Championships, but nobody is expecting to bowl well enough to capture the doubles championship.
Reason: The score atop the doubles standings following last weekend's action is believed to be a new Tulsa city record.
It's 1604, and it was assembled by Pat Stinnett and Jeff McCratic as they bowled their doubles event at Sheridan Lanes.
Stinnett set the pace with an 805 set on games of 268, 278 and 259. McCratic "brought up the rear" with 799 on games of 258, 276 and 265.
Association manager Wes Thompson, who has been keeping tenpin records for nearly 40 years, told the Tulsa World, "I've seen 1500s, but I've never seen 1600s."
Added Thompson: "Nobody is going to touch that score."
