LEESBURG -ÊFor the second time in just over four months, Leesburg's Craig Justice bowled a 300 game.

Justice, who bowled a 300 back on Nov. 15, bowled his second YABA-sanctioned 300 game at Warsaw Bowl last Saturday in his junior league.

Justice backed up his 300 game with a 279 and 210 for a 789 series to just miss his first 800 series.

"I got to the center late and only got to throw two shadow balls but was able to string the next 16 in a row before a nine-pin leave broke my run," he said. "I was happy to get my second 300 but also disappointed for not shooting my first 800 series."

Justice has been on a roll the last 1-1/2 months, winning his first Kegler Open in division one in Kokomo on March 15. He led the field from start to finish, shooting a 1,411 scratch for the first six games and 216 in the final match to take home first place.

He also defended his singles and all events titles from last year's Fort Wayne YABA tournament. He bowled a 1,923 all events score and a 674 singles score to claim the top spots.

Justice plans on finishing up the season with some major tournaments like the Kegler Opens, YABA State, The Masters, and Fort Wayne and South Bend scholarship tournaments. He will also go to Reno in July to bowl in his first Junior Olympic Gold Tournament, which is worth $30,000 in scholarship money. [[In-content Ad]]
