Manny Hartmann is named top 5 St George’s bowler during his incredible bowling career competing in two or three leagues a week from the 2002-03 season until the end of the 2015-16 campaign.
And during those years, he was a juggernaut and recorded an astonishing list of exceptional accomplishments.
A deep dive into his accomplishments in that time frame shows seven 800-series hits, including 800 (289, 276, 235) on the biggest stage for a player at The Beehive State, the Utah state bowling championship. 845 (300, 299, 246), and he also played in nine 300 games, six 299s and four 290s.
In addition, he is also the first St. George’s bowler to reach 230 in league matches, which he did in the 2003-04 season at an average of 231.58 compiled in 83 matches. Only three other towering figures in domestic bowling, Blaine Hartley (235), Lou Agios (230) and Robert Kerr (230) have finished the season at 230 or higher in at least 60 overs.
However, due to his career situation, he only pitched once a week in the 2016-17 season, but still finished with an average of 218 starts over 83 games played. The next season, he only played a total of 18 games, and didn’t even run in the next two years.
So a fair question is how many 300s and 800s would he have had now, if he had been bowling two or three times a week for the last six years?
However, the good news is that this season he’s back to compete weekly in the Mixed Up Seniors League tournament at the Dixie Bowl. With his talent and impeccable bowling mechanics, he made an old Hartmann outing with a string of 742 in games of 269, 258 and 215 which included one open match and 25 strikeouts.
Hartman is a huge fan of the San Francisco 49ers and along with bowlers Norm Duke and Jason Belmonte played football in high school and later played softball in the City League.
In another move, Bill Stover continued his streak of spirited goals with a 237 average between his two league bests (730-258 and 697-267), Rick Lesko’s 702 hits including 280 gems, and Chase Evans (695-234,232, 695-234,232). 229) was a pillar of consistency.
Scott Bowden (691-247) pitched another Dixie paste, Larry Rumple’s 684 was one of four 600s of the week, and Myles Benally (661-267) deserved the ink for his best series and game of the season.
Ron Hanson (661-248) got back into the bowling with a big outing, and suddenly, Roger Butler (642-241) deserved the ink for a great effort.
Meanwhile, Ken Schloman (624-246) joined the scoring team while on his way back to the 600 district, and Max Starock (613-240) handily outpaced his closest competitor, Doyle Moser (592-220).
Dave Castro (607-206201200) and Matt Polatis (606-203202201) both book an amazingly similar match, while Jeff Anderson (600-216) scratches his own record of 600.
In one play, Jake Heaton (638) hit a monster 285, John Potter (683) and Corey Choate (681) each booked 279, Jack Raspberry scored 236, Daryl Brooks was fueled after rolling a season-high 235, and Jaden Davis threw a 6- Bagger at 201.
In the women’s move, Margie O’Neill (628-234) and Ashley Thomas (619-259) set the scoring pace, while Ann Rasmussen (603-218) and Susan Hill (601-221) also set 600s.
And without much fanfare, Marcy Thompson (582-205) is having a very good season, Hayley Bundy (581-214)’s outing included 18 hits, and in another 11 frames, there were nine pins on first delivery of the ball, and Chris Sanzone (577-214) was a great pitcher. Simply!
Janice Crawford (575-209) made her first-ever ink for a first-class effort, and Katie Fotheringham racked up a staggering 572nd career streak in games of 210, 175 and 187 clean-ups, along with marks on the game. 22 eye-catching backup shots.
Lisa Moss (565-212) is poised to splurge in scoring over the next month, with Tammy Blakely (532) posting a quality score, Kathy Foy (522-212) posting solid scores, as well as Lynn Marriloch (519 and Lizzie David) (508).
In one play the buzz was over Diana Scharf (573) making an outstanding 267 Beaut, Renee Swall (568) popping out 212, Cathy Edwards hitting 203 and Dee Rivera getting her first ink for 202.
