[Even though this deals with bowling and therefore belongs in the Bowler's Lounge section, I'm also posting it here so that more people will see it.]
I haven't had a chance to check into the details yet, but I just got the updated results of the Florida State Open Tournament, and I'll simply provide some FACTS and let you judge for yourself.
BOWLER A: PRESTON WILLIS
* carried 186 junior-league average in 2001-02
* averaged 197 in first year of adult leagues (2002-03)
* carried 200+ (and usually far over 200) from 2003-04 to 2011-12
* In 2007-08 had averages of 233, 230, 225, 224 and 224

* In 2011-12, had 214 for 9 games, 210 for 18 games and official yearbook of 163

So along comes the state tournament ...

* Willis takes handicap all-events lead by 158-pin margin with 2,578.
* Kormansek is runner-up in handicap all-events with 2,420. (Previous leader had 2,354).
* Their team is third in handicap team at 3,648, just 14 pins off the top score posted by Lodge Lanes (which includes such top players as Vernon Peterson and John Janawicz).
* Willis is fourth in handicap singles with 833 (11 from the top score of 844) and Kormansek is tied for fifth at 825.
Is anyone suspicious?
