BIG AL practices new approach 
 
	

Text Box: 	Another year, another last place finish. That’s how you would define Stamper’s Bowling Team ( SBT ). This year, each player show marked improvement over last, yet the results were the same, LAST PLACE. In the past, usually during the middle of the season, SBT seemed to be in  position to make a run at a playoff spot. But each time, an injury, a slump, bad oil, you name it, something happened and the bottom fell out. This year was different, no such run took place. Each good game brought out the best from the opponent and regardless of SBT’s effort, they would end up losing the match.
	This year the team suffered from a season ending injury to Text Box: the BIG AL HOHF. Stricken with diabetes, BA had to hang up his ball and concentrate on his health.

When he rambles, his teammates lose concentration and their scores decrease. But Jeff, sensing urgency, has been able to stand up and proclaim, “it’s Jeffry Time”.
This year Jeff introduced a new Text Box: apparatuses to help his balance when he makes his approach to throw the ball. The JeffWeed Fannie Pack allows a bowler to place objects of different weights  inside to help offset an imbalance upon approach.
